"The Great Commission" is a reference to the final command that Christ gave to His disciples and the New Testament church.

Being in mission with Jesus can involve many activities (church planting, disciple-making, evangelism, etc.). It can take place in different places (large cities, small towns, remote rural villages). But amid that diversity of tasks and locations, there is one essential element for every all-in missional follower of Jesus: wholeness of heart. More important than the going and the doing is the being—being people with hearts of integrity, hearts with a singular loyalty, hearts that have been formed, reformed, and transformed by the Holy Spirit as he makes us more and more like Jesus.

Acts of the Apostles is a continuation of the Gospel according to Luke. It bridges from the Gospels that narrate the life and ministry of Jesus to the operations of the early church. It illustrates how the early followers, led by the Holy Spirit, began the work of fulfilling the Great Commission. In this 7 day devotional, we pray that you will be inspired to do the same.

Sometimes our desire to succeed or prosper makes us vulnerable to manipulation. Or worse, we manipulate others to get what we want. Sometimes we even try to manipulate God. The Bible passages in this reading plan help us guard against manipulation—either being manipulated or being the manipulators. These passages help us embrace the true prosperity God offers us instead.

Some Christians delight in the subject of spiritual gifts, while others get nervous. Nobody wants to be weird, but nobody wants to miss out on what God has in mind for his church either. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed” (1 Cor. 12:1). This nine-day reading plan is a “tour” of the nine gifts he listed later in that chapter. Each day gives a brief definition, an example from the early (first-century) church, and then a second example from here and now in our time.
