Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison. Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.

Are you ruled by rules or by your relationship with Jesus? There’s a big difference between the two, and how you answer can hugely impact how non-believers view you. In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe teaches from the Bible about why we need to shelf our religious rules and use love to introduce people to Christ.
Every year, we come together as a church to pray and fast for God to be made known. As we trust Him, we are called to preach His word and expect His miraculous power to change lives. This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.
At the start and middle of every year, we come together to pray and fast for God to be made known in our lives and the people around us. As we preach God’s word, we are empowered by God to be channels of His miracles in our relationships and communities. Let’s reflect on how God can use all kinds of people to reveal Himself through miracles in advancing His kingdom.
