OUR POTENTIAL
We who follow the Lord have immeasurable potential.
1. Individual Potential
(Acts 5:12a) Many signs and wonders were being done among the people through the hands of the apostles… (15-16) As a result, they would carry the sick out into the streets and lay them on beds and pallets so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some of them. In addition, a multitude came together from the towns surrounding Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
