Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue with our current series, Acts: Season 1. This week Pastor Neli explores the difference between truly being surrendered to God and merely looking surrendered for the sake of “optics”. We should move beyond religious behaviour and performance within an environment meant for grace. God has provided each of us with a unique abilities and anointing to be His witnesses. This strength is renewed not through our own merits, but by waiting upon Him and living out of the overflow of His work in our lives. So lean into God’s grace, rejecting the pressure of perfection and the trap of trying to impress others, and instead choose to strengthen and build up the community around you.
Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. – Acts 4:32-33 (ESV)
