Sermon Outlines: How to Prepare Yourself and Your Church for a Move of God

As many of you know my husband and I recently planted a new church called Bloodline. Most of the people who have attended are young adults who don't have a church background. It has been very exciting to watch them grow as they learn new life changing lessons from the Word.

As I have time, I would like to share a few of the sermons that my husband has been bringing to Bloodline. The latest message was about how we can position ourselves not only individually, but also as a body of believers, to see God move in a mighty way. We all desire to see revival, but most of us really don't know what if anything we can do to expedite the process.

This is the basic outline of the sermon with my two cents worth thrown in. I encourage you to read all of Acts 2 so that you have a better understanding of what was going on in the lives of the disciples during that time.

Remember, you should always check to make sure that the Word being taught, no matter what the source, is the real deal. Anyone can twist a passage from the Bible into saying what ever they want it to say. Get in the habit of reading it for yourself. That way you will never be duped by a wolf in sheep's clothing!

There Must Be Unity In The Church: Acts 2:1

In order to see a move of God there must be unity in the church and in our families. Acts 2:1 basically says that the disciples were all together in one accord and in one place. Over the years we have had folks tell us things like "I know we missed the service, but we were with you in spirit." I'm sorry, but your spirit is in your body. The only way we are going to be together is if you bring your body! It's difficult to have unity in the local church if folks never get together to fellowship and share the Word with one another.

You Must Hear A Sound From Heaven: Acts 2:2

In order to see a move of God your pastor and church leaders must be hearing from Him. So many pastors today wait until the last minute, then pull a sermon off the Internet and read it to the congregation on Sunday morning. I'm not saying it's wrong to use other sources, but if your pastor is not at least trying to hear from God your church will be lifeless. If you are in a church like this you might consider finding a new one!
