Acts: The Ripple Effect of the Gospel

Did you know that church plants often outpace established churches in reaching the lost—almost by double? According to Lifeway Research, new churches are some of the most effective at seeing conversions. That’s why Calvary Chapel has always been a church-planting movement, and Calvary Kona is no exception. Our mission isn’t just to plant a single church in Kona but to be a launching pad for many more.In this episode, we dive into the Book of Acts, a continuation of the Gospel of Luke, written by a meticulous historian—Luke himself. He writes to a single individual, Theophilus, whose name means “Lover of God.” This highlights a powerful truth: while the Gospel impacts the masses, it often begins with reaching one person.Just as Luke faithfully documented the life of Jesus and the early Church, we are called to be faithful in reaching the individuals God has placed in our lives. The ripple effect of one transformed life can change families, communities, and even nations.Join us as we explore Acts 1:1-8 and discover how the ministry of Jesus continues today through His Church. The Book of Acts isn’t just about the Apostles—it’s about Jesus working through His people. And that includes us.If you want to be part of reaching Kona, Hawaii, and beyond, start by being faithful to those around you. You never know the impact one life can make!
