Jesus Revolution | All Things in Common

Your heart desires to share your person and possessions and love people freely. After all, Jesus said, “​It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). If Jesus has changed your life, I believe you aspire to be like Him and live by His words.

But here is our reality: Our culture has groomed us to keep instead of release. We intuitively know that there is little satisfaction beyond a certain point of financial comfortability, but my goodness, this hurdle of keeping and collecting keeps getting in the way.

I know that can sound nebulous, but it is the best way I can say it. Proximity to Jesus and encounters with the Holy Spirit freed me to move from keeping to sharing, sharing my person and possessions.

We see the same in Luke’s record of the early church. The encounters with God’s Spirit motivated the first followers of Jesus to be bold in telling people about Jesus and incredibly open-handed with their person and possessions.

The same can happen for all of us.

Tune in for the continuation of "The Jesus Revolution" sermon series as Pastor Leonce uncovers three observations about the moment Luke records in Acts 4.

If you embrace these observations, you will find the same freedom they did.
