I encourage you to pick up this book that opened my eyes to some of the things we will walk through during this series.  You will love it.

On Sunday we are kicking off a brand-new series entitled Counterfeit God.

I believe this will be one of the most life-changing series we have ever done at Freedom Church.

The preparation for this series has impacted me greatly and I know that it will do the same for you and those you are bringing with you this weekend.

See you Sunday at Barber Middle School (right next to Acworth Elementary) at 9:45 or 11:30.

You can gain significant insight into the lives of people by observing what they do and listening to what dominates their discussion. The Bible talks about this very thing.

In Acts 4, Peter and John were seemingly larger-than-life.   They saw miracle after miracle occur right before their eyes.  Theirs was a world full of wonder and amazement at the miracle working power of God.  People were intrigued by their words and what they were able to accomplish – even those who were in direct opposition.

Acts 4:13 – Now as they (their enemies) observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

The lives of Peter and John were distinguishably different. These men didn’t have extraordinary talent, education, or ability.  What they did have was an unwavering commitment to speak about what they had seen and heard (Acts 4:20).  And people took notice.  It was evident by observing their deeds and listening to their words.

What can people learn from observing your actions and listening to your conversation? What dominates your discussion?  What’s most important in your life?  The conversations that you have and the lifestyle that you live will reveal the answer.
