“What amazes you?"
The possibility of the amazing is what keeps us looking forward
The possibility of the amazing is what keeps us optimistic
The possibility of the amazing is what keeps us faithful
People who lose the possibility of the amazing lose the life for which they were designed
What helps and what gets in the way?Some ideas from this passage…..Acts 8:9–25
Here's the Acts8.9-25 Handout
Question: What is amazing in this passage?
1. Philip’s courage2. John’s change, Luke 9:51–563.Stephen’s changes4. Apostles’ calmness and imperturbability
Question: What stops us being amazed & amazing others about God?
When all said and done, it is not a what, but a who is amazing.
And one is more amazing that all others.
And he has inspired more amazing things than anyone who has ever lived.
Jesus is the most amazing person who ever lived
“The people were amazed at his teaching, … and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.” (Mark 1:22; 6:2; 7:37; 10:26; 11:18 NIV11)
How do we get the strength/courage? Matt 28.20From presence and spirit of Jesus.

Do you have a joy-filled life, or a joy-less life? Joy is vital in a healthy marriage, family and friendship. Why is it so elusive? We learn in this lesson how to find joy - via courage.
Question: what examples of courage do you see in Acts 8.1-8?
“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” (Luke 2:10 NIV1)
“So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.” (Matthew 28:8 NIV11)
God is joyful; Jesus is full of joy; Holy Spirit provides joy…
“At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said...” (Luke 10:21 NIV11)
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,” (Romans 14:17 NIV11)
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” (Galatians 5:22 NIV11)
“You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 1:6 NIV11)
Therefore makes sense to pursue joy…How?Through courageous acts inspired by the love of God.
Summary: Jesus provides access to God’s joy. He designed us for joy.We need courage.
When we live courageously people notice and listen - then they, too, have access to the joy
Where does courage come from? Not knowledge Jesus rose from dead; God exists; going to be with God forever when die etc.Instead, it comes from knowing Jesus is alive, walking with us, accompanying us; keeping his promises; Matt 28 - “I am with you”. Jesus is with me now, present, involved, immanent, attentive, listening, available for me now, interceding for me now, hearing my prayers now, sustaining me, strengthening me.This gives us courage.Joy comes partly from courage expressed, but partly because of knowing I have lived something fundamental to being a Christian - living by faith, trusting in Jesus.
Where do you need more joy? That’s the same place you need more courage.Courage first - then joy will follow.Three steps to faith-fuelled courage and joyful living:
1. Jesus: trust he is with you2. Open: to new ideas3. "Yes": say “yes” to new opportunities for courage
People who have joy attract othersWho would you rather be with?Cannot fix some situations, but can fix courage. If have courage, will have joy, will not mind situations so much!And…others benefit
A church which filled with joy attracts others. You can find more videos on our YouTube channel. Our web site is www.watfordchurchofchrist.org.
