Car Pool (3 of 4)
Series: Refuel

Acts 2:41-47
Welcome to those watching online and to those at our campuses.
Introduction
1. Imagine that you are Jesus, the son of god. You are given the most important assignment that anyone has ever been given and only you can fulfill. In fact, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders. If this world is ever going to be totally truly right with its creator it all comes down to you and your ministry and in fact a ministry of life and death. Furthermore, you have three years to pull it off. What are you going to do and where are you going to spend most of your time?

Do you hire a publicity firm and a pr agent to advertise a ''miracle working festival'' that will be held in the center of Jerusalem to show everybody immediately while everyone else is Clark Kent you are superman?

He will spend the vast majority of his time over the next 3 years not healing the sick and as you can imagine that day, sick people abounded.
