Learn to awaken to God’s Spirit today and every day by studying the Book of Acts with Melissa Spoelstra.

Whether it’s because of distractions, busyness, or a case of the blahs, we can experience a drift toward indifference in our spiritual lives. We have a need for an ongoing spiritual awakening if we want to become more aware of God’s presence and activity in our everyday lives.

In Acts: Awakening to God in Everyday Life, a six-week study of the Book of Acts by Melissa Spoelstra, you will journey with the first followers of Jesus and witness the birth and growth of the early church through spiritual awakening to the power of God’s Spirit, message, freedom, grace, mission, and direction.

From their experiences you will learn postures that will help you attune your own spiritual heart to experience God’s presence, hear God’s voice, and see God at work all around.

This study offers a fresh encounter with God to prepare you to:
- Face daily battles
- Be able to discern the messages of our culture
- Be ready to share God’s love with others always

Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and video sessions with six 20 to 25-minute segments (with closed captioning).

Introductory Session
Just as we can awaken physically, we can also awaken spiritually, opening our spiritual eyes and ears to experience the power and presence of God. Join Melissa Spoelstra in a s study of the Book of Acts exploring our ongoing need for spiritual awakening as we witness God’s spirit birth and grow the early church by awakening them to His power, message, freedom, grace, mission, and direction.

Running Time: 11:25

Session 1: Awakening to God’s Power
In session one, Melissa unpacks Acts 1-4 where we learn about Luke, the author of the book and about his heart behind it. As we explore awakening to God’s power we learn that we can’t manufacture passion for God but we can awaken to God’s power through his Holy Spirit.

Running Time: 32:56

Session 2: Awakening to God’s Message
Awakening to God’s message usually includes some level of mess. We learn in session two, in Acts 5-9, that God takes our messy lives, creates something beautiful, and calls us to His service. God also awakens us to a clarity about His message so that we can share our faith with others.

Running Time: 26:59

Session 3: Awakening to God’s Freedom
In this session, through Acts 10-14, Melissa recognizes the freedom that comes from fully awakening to God and learning to overcome legalism to prioritize the person of Jesus over any patterns and rules of religion. Explore the steps you can take toward greater freedom in everyday life.

Running Time: 23:42

Session 4: Awakening to God’s Grace
In this session, Melissa speaks on the importance of giving grace to others as God gives it to each of us. How do we faithfully engaging conflict with grace and intention? Based on Acts 15-19, Melissa walks through five steps to use in handling conflict and disagreement.

Running Time: 24:40

Session 5: Awakening to God’s Mission
In this session, based on Acts 20-24, Melissa deals with the issues of feeling overwhelmed or sometimes apathetic about our sense of mission and purpose. How do we find and sustain our power for mission through both our faithfulness and our dependency on God.

Running Time: 27:47

Session 6: Awakening to God’s Direction

In this last session, concluding the study with Acts 25-28, Melissa asks, as we awaken to God’s power, how do we hear God’s voice and direction in complicated situations? We look to the story of Paul’s journey for inspiration and discerning when to wait and when to move forward when seeking God’s direction.

Title: Good Bible Study for the Book of Acts
Review: My Bible Study group used this, along with a guide and video of the author speaking about each section to a group of women, and we all enjoyed this study and learned a lot from it. The author is a very good speaker and clearly conveys the lessons to learn from Acts.

Title: Need An Awakening in Your walk with the Lord? This study is for YOU!
Review: Melissa is an excellent author and teacher. I've been blessed to know Melissa even before she started publishing and she truly has the gift of teaching! I love how she draws you in to God's Word, leaving you hungry for more! This study of ACTS is an awakening to God's Power, Message, Freedom, Grace, Mission,& Direction. I am currently in the midst of figuring out the next adventures Jesus has for me, so this study helped encourage me along this journey. What's next? I know that whatever things I move forward in, I will be reminded from this study that our goal is to share the gospel and see Christ's church grow. As I was reminded that sometimes we "feel" we are standing alone, we are NOT. And truly what matters is my audience of one=HIM. Thank you Melissa for the many tangible reminders on a journey during these tumultuous times we live in. I am challenged to keep standing for JESUS, His great gospel and to be fruitful in the ways He's called me to be, ALL through the mighty power of HIS HOLY SPIRIT, the greatest gift/helper.

Title: Another amazing bible study by Melissa Spolestra!
Review: I was blessed to be a part of Melissa's Launch Team for this bible study on the book of Acts! I have participated in bible studies of Melissa's in the past. She is a dynamic bible study teacher and has a great way of relating to the Scriptures and helping others to do the same through digging deep into the Scriptures daily and applying them to our lives... in particular for me as a Christian woman in my journey with Christ. As the title says Awakening to God in Everyday Life, I feel that I have re-awoken to God after going through the pandemic and the things going on in our world right now.Thank you Melissa for allowing me to participate in this study. It has been such a blessing!

Title: Another great study by Melissa!
Review: This is the 4th Bible study of Melissa's I've done with ladies from my church. They are a great dive into whichever book of the Bible, with life application. Melissa makes each book of the Bible relatable and easy to understand. One thing I love about this one that I didn't see in the previous studies I did of hers is the exercise for learning the weekly memory verse. Memorizing verses has always been difficult for me but her method of having more and more blanks to fill in daily, helped a lot. The 5 days of homework each week are indepth but not so long that it is difficult to squeeze in. It takes me 20-30 minutes each day, including the scripture reading. My mature 14 year old daughter is doing this study with us and it has been easy for her to understand and follow along.
