God is good at resets – He specializes in resetting.. and aren’t you glad….
-
He has a default setting for your life – He designed you—He made you—He made you with some factory settings. This RESET we’re talking about is not finding a NEW NORMAL – This is about finding a RENEWED NORMAL - So we’re going to look at what Jesus says are the default settings of the church …. And we’re going to ask God to RESET us to a renewed normal…

the Holy Spirit takes what’s dead and barren --- and breathes life into it….. That’s what God has always intended for His church – alive – full of life in the Holy Spirit……

this is going to be Normal for you. You will be My witnesses - this is an expectation - this is who you are. He's describing what's normal for His church - and normal is - you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria, and to the whole world…

Jesus said this – “Go make disciples” – help people become followers of Christ………..
…………Hasn’t that always been God’s plan – reconciling the world unto Himself…
Our task is to lead people into the right relationship with God…..

Be captivated – Be motivated – Be activated by THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
Instead of trying to control your own life – give yourself fully into His control……….
……..give Him control of your life – to be filled with the Spirit

So it’s the Word of God that does the Work of God – by the Spirit of God – in the lives of the people of God… The Apostles – let the text speak for itself – Here’s a question – do you believe in the power of the text more than the personality of the teacher?

That word “fellowship” – is one of the most over-used words—and under valued words in the Christian vocabulary. So – if you put all those meanings together – you discover that “fellowship” is sharing the life of Jesus Christ – it’s not just a social gathering

One of the things about miracles is: They point outward – They point to God’s compassion to those who are in need. Here’s a place that the church needs a RESET – we are called to the ministry of compassion – We’re called to the people who are unlike us –

So – here’s a question – What kind of people does God use? -- you might be thinking He only uses the Extraordinary people – the blue ribbon people – charismatic people – talented people – you know the “star quarterback” – and “the female lead of the play” God prefers to use ordinary people………… and that makes us all prime candidates…….

“The tighter that you hold on to the gospel of Jesus Christ – the looser you will hold on to the things of this world.” This was the norm in the early church – this is the default setting of the church – This is how the church is supposed to function

The only reason – this passage rocks our world – is because we haven’t figured out how HOLY GOD IS - and our sin hurts the heart of God – and the only reason we’re alive is the grace of God and the mercy of God

So you have a gift or gifts – a talent – a God given ability – all the things that make you uniquely you – for the purpose of serving the body – and the quicker you get in that seat undistracted—the healthier we will be

So your decisions have distance – they move you – and your decisions have direction – they move you somewhere specific…. Good or bad – right or wrong

Don't If we're going to reset to a renewed normal - this is it - this is our default setting......The modern church can be guilty of hiding -- keeping this gospel to ourselves.

That's why Acts chapter 8 is gong to be a revelation to you today - It's going to challenge you - It might even scare you a bit........because our well ordered, rational, logical minded, scripted schedule - keeps us from the Great Adventure that God has planned for us....

They just had an overwhelming zeal--and everywhere they went they had Gospel Conversations - Antioch was where life had taken them--but Antioch is where God planned to use them.....
