If you read through the book of Acts in the Bible there are 14 documented healings. We noticed that at least 7 of these occur 'on the street' outside of any church meetings. Unless we believe that the greatest acts of the church were in the past, this has to become our standard. 50% of our healings and miracles should happen on the streets - that's our target.

Gospel in Acts 1. The apostles declare that wicked people are responsible for Jesus’ death. 2. God raised Jesus from the dead. 3. God offers forgiveness to the guilty if they repent and believe. 4. Those who repent and receive forgiveness glorify and praise God. Excellent table too!

It must also have been the idea in the minds of the disciples, when, before the ascension, they asked, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Acts 1:6. John Calvin comments, "There are as many mistakes in this question as there are words." Jesus reply shows him correcting not only their concept of time but also their view of ministry. 7He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:7-8 The nature of the kingdom of God now re-defines the meaning of chosenness. The extension of the kingdom of God throughout the world necessitates their exile from the land and indeed the turning of their backs on Jerusalem for ever. They are sent out into the world but never told to return.

In the mind of Jesus acts of service were not inconsistent with greatness but rather an integral part of it. Jesus' concept of greatness-and obviously is the correct one-is so contrary to the wolldis sense of values that even we Christians Cave difficulty grasping it. Even the disciples vied among themselves for rank and position rather than for the privilege of serving one another. By serving, I simply mean doing Helpful deeds for one another. Paula shipwrecked on the island of Malta, gathered a pile of brushwood to put on the fire bails for his fellow passengers -these acts was incredibly simple and mundane in and of itself. But this is what servanthood within the fellowship of believers is all about: being alert to the little things that need to be done and then doing them.

Jesus' Kingdom is not about geography The kingdom would , in inaugurated in contrast to their expectations, spiritual in nature, international in membership and gradual in expansion. And the expansion of this kingdom throughout the world would specifically require their exile from the Land. They must turn their backs on Jerusalem and their hopes of ruling there with Jesus in order to fulfil their new role as ambassadors of the Kingdom. (Matt 20:20-28; 2 Corinthians 5:20-21). The Acts of the Apostles suggests that they needed something of a kick start to get going. It is only when the Christians in Jerusalem experience persecution following the death of Stephen and are scattered that they begin to proclaim the Gospel to others (Acts 8:1-4). The church was sent out into the world to make disciples of all nations but never told to return. Instead Jesus promises to be with them wherever they are in the world. (Matt 29:18-20)

We cannot pretend as if we do not know that the Bible clearly teaches that all homosexual acts are sinful, as is all human sexual behavior outside the covenant of marriage.
