Title: The World We All Want
By: Andy Worthington
Bible Reading: Book of Acts (Chapter 4, verse 42-47)
Recorded: Sunday 08/03/2020 at our Moseley Kings Heath Gathering.
Description: Part of our teaching series called '#AGAIN' looking at the early chapters in the book of Acts in the Bible. Our hope and prayer as we explore these studies together is that God would begin to awaken us to what he is doing and will do again. Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us!

Everywhere we look, people want to change the world. From climate change to poverty, from political reform to issues of security, everyone wants a better world. What about you? What kind of world do you long for? When you dream about the kind of world that could be, what is it like? How do people relate? What happens? What doesn’t happen? In the ancient world, life was very hard. With no welfare state or NHS it was up to you, and those around you, to survive and get by. We can easily forget just how precarious life was. One bad illness or poor harvest was not just inconvenient, it could mean total disaster. And so, when this strange group of people started living in a radically different way – sharing their possessions, caring for outcasts, healing the sick - people began to really take notice. It was almost as if they were creating a different world.
