LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word. A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”?

When Jesus rose from the dead, he found disciples who were defeated and disillusioned. Just like us. But in the forty days between his resurrection and his ascension, Jesus restored and prepared them for their worldwide mission. Spend forty days with Jesus as you explore forty decisive moments from Genesis to Revelation and discover your part in God’s story. Invite Jesus to do for you what he did for those early disciples. He met them in their failure. He opened their minds to his Word. He showed them their part in God’s story. He promised the power of the Holy Spirit.
