MAKE A MOVE (Power to Move)
What does it look like for us to “Make a Move”?
“Making your move” means when God speaks you move.
We serve a God who is ready to “make his move”.
Story of when I asked Ashley out on our first date.
I spent way to much money
I made her a special, dorky little book with horrible picture faces attached to permanent marker stick figures.
She wore a beautiful pink dress, we drove my stolen, then returned Acura Integra.
We went up into the Columbia river Gorge and enjoyed a five course meal.
She ate duck, I had quail.
We both enjoyed our ritzy dinner looking the river from dinner.
She was out of my league, I wanted her so I decided it was time to “Make my move”
BIG PLANS REQUIRE BIG MOVES
God is Ready to make his move.
The Book of Acts shows us a God who is ready to “Make His Move”
He is moving in Jerusalem, He’s moving in Judea, now it’s time for God to continue the vision of reaching, “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth.”
God is making His move for the ones he loves and he uses tragedy and persecution to advance his Kingdom.
Everything was good in Jerusalem, people were getting along, the church was growing, yet God had bigger plans.
God made his move, and the people were ready.
When God moved, they moved.
When god spoke they listened.
When persecution arose, God pushed the movement out beyond its current borders into uncharted territoryAND THE PEOPLE WERE READY!
The Growth of the Movement.
Movement Isn’t always what we ask for.
We want God to move, but it’s kind of nice to stay in the same place.
In the first
The people are forced to move against their will
What did they leave behind?
They left behind homes, family, friends but also comfort.
What did they keep?
They kept their newfound faith in Jesus Christ.
These people took massive financial, social and spiritual hits yet the one thing they maintained was their faith.
The story of Philip
What does it look like for us to “Make a Move”?
“Making your move” means when God speaks you move.
We serve a God who is ready to “make his move”.
Philip was ready, he knew the scriptures, he was ready to make his move.

The story of Philip
Philip didn’t ask for this, but he made the most of it.
Philip wasn’t led by fear or tradition.
He was led by the Spirit.
Philip was ready to make his move.
When people, like you and I, are filled with the Spirit and ready and willing to follow God, we will “Make our move” whether we think we’re ready or not.
Philip wasn’t ready to Make this move yet when it came, he was ready.
God performed through Philip signs and wonders, the Kingdom of God was advancing despite the persecution.
Transition: Philip pursued the will of God but it brought about some unique challenges.
Movement brings unique challenges
How a movement deals with challenges reveal the health of the movement.
A Healthy Movement has Protection
God begins to pour out his Spirit onto the cities of Samaria, how exciting!
One man named Simon takes part and jumps on the faith bandwagon.
he was a street magician, who saw the power of God and wanted it for himself.
The Apostles are there to pray with the people and Simon asks for them to give him this power and they openly rebuke him and call him to repentance.
The apostles were there to protect the movement of God from the peoples own motivations.
Simon had his own ideas and the apostles knew it.
The Apostles were ready to make their move.
A Healthy Movement Engages
Philip follows the direct word of God and makes a move.
In the moment God asks Philip to Move, he moves.
What does it look like for us to “Make a Move”?
Philip knew this man was a Gentile.
He knew he was an outsider.
The guy had different colored skin than he had.
He was dressed like royalty and philip was a common man.
Yet God will use him to impact one soul that would reach all the way down into Ethiopia.
“Making your move” means when God speaks you move.
Sometimes it all starts with a simple question.
How do we engage in our world?
