Filling the City


Acts 5:28
"We gave you strict orders to teach in this name," he said.
"Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."

That's what I'm talking about.
If you're going to accuse the church of something, accuse us that:
You have filled your city with the teaching of Jesus.

Church, let's fill our cities with the good news of Christ.
Let's fill the places of poverty with our generosity.
Let's fill our schools with students who are not ashamed of the Gospel.

The future of our cities is empty and desolate without the power and the presence of God.

Let's keep preaching, reaching, giving, and loving until our cities overflow and can't deny it:
You have filled with city with Jesus.
