SPREADING
Today's reading: Acts 10-12

"But God's Good News was spreading rapidly, and there were many new believers." Acts 12:24 NLT

Spread-to open or expand over a large area; to stretch out; to distribute over an area; to make widely known; to become dispersed, distributed or scattered.

A new believer shared what he had just learned with a neighbor across the fence... That neighbor shared with the man at the market... The wives over heard and shared in their kids' play groups... The shopkeepers began to talk to their customers about their new beliefs... The travelers heard from the innkeepers about Jesus, then took the information back with them...

What's changed? What's slowed down the rapid spread of Christianity?

It's not that we cannot communicate.

It's not that we don't interact with people daily.

It's not that we cannot pick up a phone, shoot off a text, make a post on social media, drive over to a friend's house or share with the clerk where we buy milk and bread.

We're just not doing it.

The excitement for what God's done in our lives is dying to a barely glowing ember.

Fan the flame!

Share the story of how God rescued you through the blood of His Son, Jesus.

Don't worry about telling the whole world, just tell one person today...and see where it goes from there!
