The Holy Spirit continued to guide Paul and Silas as they obeyed and made their way to Macedonia. The unique experiences they had in Philippi help us know how to join the Holy Spirit in our journey to multiply community.

When God begins to build the team of multipliers there are two characteristics that stand out. They need to be driven to know Christ and directed by the Holy Spirit.

Is there a possibility of division in the body of Christ that is an expression of unity? Yes. And in today's passage Paul and Barnabas show us how.

How does the Holy Spirit cause the church to respond when believing Jews try to add some of the old rules to the lives of new Gentile believers? The direction the community takes is suprising and displays again the grace of God.

The first stop for Paul and Barnabas when they were sent out to multiply the church was Barnabas' home of Cyprus. It makes sense that the first place we should share the gospel is in our home church and our home town. 

As Paul and Barnabas continued to spread the gospel under the leadership of the Holy Spirit they received a wide variety of responses. They were determined, however, to continue to respond to the Holy Spirit and not react to the responses of people. That makes all the difference when the community multiplies.

What happens when the Holy Spirit leads the community of believers to pray for something? In today's message we see God-exclusive activity and amazement in the church.

In today's  message we see how God used Peter to help Jewish believers overcome struggles with new community distinctives given by the Holy Spirit.

God is beginning to multiply the community called, "The Gathering Place." This is a timely message about how God prepares the messenger he will use for multiplication. 

Today Will reminds us that when believers are abiding in the Holy Spirit biblical community multiplies. Multiplication is the fruit of abiding.

We have been studying for seven months about what biblical community looks like. Today is a check-up to see if we are in our response to the Holy Spirit.

God does not expect us to remove fear and add faith to our lives. The Holy Spirit does that through his activity in our lives and in the community.

Hear the wonderful story of how God changed the life of a pastor who was in the ministry for 22 years!

There is a evangelistic progression that we can see in Acts 8-9. God is revealing to the church that it is only when the Holy Spirit works that someone is redeemed. That is never more clear than in the case of Saul of Tarsus.

The Scripture unfolds with a story about how Philip BLESSes the Ethiopian Eunuch in the message today. The Holy Spirit uses the life of Philip to teach us some great principles.

In today's message Will opens up how the Holy Spirit uses servants who are available to reach all people.

The apostles are being used by the Holy Spirit to lead a movement to change the world. But is the leadership of this powerful movement limited to the apostles? Today we will see a leader arise who challenges even the apostles.

Where people are in community with one another conflict arises. Unfortunately, churches don't always follow the Holy Spirit in times of conflict and so problems escalate. In this story of the first church the Holy Spirit had control and the results were miraculous.

What is the difference between a power move by worldly religious leaders and the Holy Spirit of God? We will see in the text today.

God is a multitasker. In the story of Ananias and Sapphira not only was God protecting the church from hypocrisy, but He was building a deep sense of profound respect and awe in all who saw it and heard about it. This character trait was needed in the community of believers.

As the community continued to form in Jerusalem in response to the work of the Holy Spirit, Satan made an attempt to insert two wolves into the sheep fold through the most unlikely circumstance. God's grace covers the protection of his sheep as He leads them to green pastures.

Following the release of Peter and John from prison, the community had a reason to celebrate. The things that they realized and their response in prayer teaches us something about walking in community.

In Acts 3-4 there are two different responses to the healing of a man born crippled. Both lay hold of the new community of believers, but in different ways and with different agendas.

In our Acts study we have already seen evidence that the community of believers is having an impact on the watching world. Many have put thier faith in Jesus, but what does it look like to be witnesses to individuals as we live in community? How does it happen on the personal level? Today we look at principles that come from Peter and John's encounter with a crippled man.
