There are many sorrows in the world today that we can point to, but even in the midst of the sin trouble we see around us, it is evident that God is still on the move! That is why the message of this week's song by 7eventh Time Down, "God Is On The Move," is so powerful.
Even though the Bible is FULL of examples of God being "on the move," one of the most epic periods in my mind is the early church.
On this episode I discuss:
- How much I love the Book of Acts and my Papa's challenge to me as a young woman
- Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - our Bible Interaction Tool Exercises this week is:
- Discuss what you're learning with a friend
- How God was on the move in the early church
- A quick recap of the events that led to Peter's first Spirit-filled sermon that led to 3,000 new souls saved for Christ - Acts 2:41

- The apostle's teaching - 1 John 1:1-4
- Fellowship
- Breaking bread
- Prayer

- Those who will try to stop the move of God - Acts 4:16-18
