Prophetic & Teaching Formation
A formation hub for men and women training together to proclaim Jesus with humility, clarity, and Spirit-led encouragement—always for the building up of the church.
All Hub Resources
Everything you need: invitation, charter, framework, builder, curriculum, and feedback rhythms. Start with the Invitation if you're new, then study the Framework before using the Builder.
Invitation
An invitation to join an Acts-shaped formation group for men and women called to build up the church through Scripture-anchored, Spirit-led proclamation.
Charter
The constitution of the team: purpose, commitments, guardrails, and how men and women practice faithfully together.
Curriculum
Acts-based formation flow with practice moments every session—text, focus, outcomes, and assignments.
Message Framework
Learn the Acts-shaped methodology with worked examples across all sermon types. This is the textbook before you use the builder.
Message Builder
Interactive builder with book-by-book presets, orientation guides, and exports to HTML, ProPresenter, and speaker notes. This is the workbench.
Contexts
Seven proclamation settings from Acts (temple, household, public square, etc.) with practice prompts.
Feedback Culture
A repeatable feedback method (Affirm → Clarify → Form) that strengthens faith without shame or ranking.
Practice Lab
What to prepare, how to share speaking time (pairs/teams), and how to request help from the team.
Resources
Acts sermon index + recommended references + links to your Acts overview material.
Luke–Acts Framing
Luke's two-volume work begins with Jesus, empowered by the Spirit, proclaiming good news (Luke 4). It ends with ordinary believers, empowered by that same Spirit, doing the same in every corner of the known world.
Luke: Jesus proclaims
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to proclaim good news to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind. (Luke 4:18–19)
Acts: We proclaim
You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses. (Acts 1:8)
This hub exists to train that witness—not as performance, but as Spirit-dependent overflow.
Acts in Three Movements
Jesus promised: "You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Luke structures Acts to show exactly this progression— Spirit-driven expansion crossing every barrier.
Circle 1: Jerusalem
Acts 1–7
All nations (Jews from every land) hear Peter proclaim Jesus at Pentecost. The Spirit falls. The church is born in the temple courts and homes.
Circle 2: Samaria
Acts 8–9
Philip crosses the ethnic barrier. Samaritans—despised by Jews—receive the Spirit. Saul encounters Jesus. The second circle opens.
Circle 3: Gentiles
Acts 10–28
Peter baptizes Cornelius. Paul carries the gospel across the empire. Rome itself hears. The "ends of the earth" begin.
The Spirit and the Temple
Acts opens with prayer in the upper room (Acts 1:13–14)—men and women together— waiting for the Spirit. The early church gathers continually in temple courts and homes, anchored in Jewish worship rhythms while the Spirit creates something radically new.
Prayer before power
Before Pentecost, before proclamation, before mission—they prayed. Men and women, apostles and ordinary disciples, unified in expectation. (Acts 1:14)
Temple as training ground
Early believers taught daily in the temple (Acts 2:46; 5:42). The space meant for Israel's worship became the launching pad for global witness.
Acts Pattern: Spirit-led, Scripture-rooted
Every major move in Acts is preceded by prayer and grounded in Israel's story. The Spirit doesn't bypass the Word—the Spirit fulfills it. Peter's Pentecost sermon quotes Joel, David, and the Psalms. Stephen retells Israel's narrative. Paul argues from the Prophets.
Culture & Safety
Non-shaming
Growth without embarrassment. Mistakes are part of learning.
Non-competitive
No ranking. Different gifts, different timelines.
Communal
No one builds alone. Prep and feedback happen together.
