Christ's command to his followers before his ascension to heaven was for them to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, all Judea, in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.

Our Lord did not intend for the good news of his death and resurrection to stay local, but

instead it was to be taken globally.

In this third section of Acts, the adventure continues as the gospel is taken to the ends

of the earth.

Let's join Scott Pauli now for today's study.

The greatest time in life to give your life to God is when you're young. Now that doesn't mean

that an older person cannot yield themselves for the Lord and be used of God, but it's thrilling

to see young people early on find the will of God for them and fulfill God's purpose for them

because they're able to give their entire life to the Lord. And I'm convinced that one of the

things we need at this particular juncture is we need to be enlisting young

people for God's work. Now, let me explain to you what I mean by that. I don't mean by that that

that every young man is going to be a pastor or that every young lady is going to be a missionary.

Many of them will be. But I do believe that every young person should learn as early in life as

possible that the greatest work in the world early in life as possible that the greatest

work in the world is the work of God and the greatest thing they can do with their life

is connect themselves to what God is doing in this world. So yes, I'm on a recruiting mission today.

Yes, I have an agenda and it's not mine. It is the Lord's. We said in our

last study that we need workers. Well, let's start with the young people. Let's start by praying

that God would raise up another generation of young men and young women who will give themselves to God

and let God use them.

This is very dear to me because as a very young man, God dealt with me about serving the Lord of my life.
