PLEASE CHECK YOUR NOTIFICATIONS AND OR YOUR PLANNING CENTER PROFILES FOR NEW MEMBER REQUESTS.
NOTE:
Two opportunities to pray:
Leaders only: Please be available at the end of services to pray for those who come forward. If you are not actively serving during the service you are attending, make it a priority to head to the front when the invitation is given. Your presence matters!
North Attleboro Leaders and members: If you are available, or any member of your group who currently serves is available, there is an opportunity to meet for prayer in the conference room off of the break room area during the second and third services. Please see Doug and Joanie White or Felix Shyllon if you would like to be a part of that ministry.
Please note: if you have a member who is not currently serving and would like to be part of the prayer during the service team, please have them take the appropriate steps to become a serve team member.
NORTH ATTLEBORO
Prayer at the Altar – AFTER SERVICES
If possible, please make an effort to be at the altar after this service to pray for others.
Your presence makes a difference—thank you for serving!
Below is a link to the Miracle after Miracle fasting devotional:
MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE – 21 DAYS OF FASTING
____________________________
**Please read all scripture in the ESV, unless otherwise noted.**
Icebreaker question:
Have you ever missed an important moment because you were distracted or in a hurry? What happened?

Opening Prayer
God, we pause and invite You to lead this time together. Open our hearts to recognize the divine moments You place before us. Give us clarity to see who our ONE is, courage to obey when You prompt us, and humility to join Your movement. Align us with what You are already doing. In Jesus’ name, amen.
God orchestrates divine moments that alter destinies.
People experience Divine MOMENTS when they serve the Divine MOVEMENT.
The Divine MOVEMENT: God SAVING people one at a time through the GOSPEL.
You are partnering with the Holy Spirit to see people and share Jesus with them.
Who is my ONE?
Q. What changes when you shift from thinking about reaching “many” to being intentional about reaching your ONE?
Practical Application:
Have each member write down the name of their ONE, and during your prayer time, pray as a group for each ONE.
- Divine Moments happen when we BOLDLY GO where God LEADS.
Acts 8:26-28 ESV
God can take you from a flourishing place to a desert place.
Sometimes God leads you to places that you do not feel like going.
Walk in where God is leading and believe He is presently leading you.
Can I go to the DESERT places?
Can I go to the DIFFERENT places?
(People who are different from you, don’t think like you, etc.)
When we move, God moves.
Q. Where might God be asking you to go outside of what feels familiar, comfortable, or expected in order to be part of His movement?
Practical Application:
This week, intentionally say yes to one place, situation, or conversation you would normally avoid or overlook, and ask God to show you if there is a divine moment waiting there.
2. Divine Moments happen when we SEEK the ones LEFT OUT.
The eunuch was left out. He was not allowed to worship in Jerusalem (Acts 8:27-28).
Acts 8:29–30 ESV
Philip took approximately eleven steps to talk to this man.
Get your eyes off the important people and on the ones that are left out.
This week’s challenge: TAKE 11 STEPS.
See the person left out, take eleven steps toward them, start the conversation, and invite them to church.
Get out of your comfort zone and talk to them.
Q. Who are the people you regularly see but rarely engage with, and what might it look like to take intentional steps toward them?
Practical Application:
Accept this week’s challenge and TAKE 11 STEPS—move physically, emotionally, or relationally toward someone who feels overlooked, asking God to grow your spiritual clarity through obedience.
Spiritual clarity with God GROWS when I obey what He has already GIVEN me to do.
You want to hear from God, do what He already said.
Acts 8:30–34 ESV
God has chosen to use the flawed to do his work, so He gets the glory.
Hebrews 4:15 ESV
Acts 8:35 ESV
Q. What is something God has already shown you to do that you may have delayed or ignored?
3. Divine Moments happen when we SPEAK about JESUS.
God begins to work through the Holy Spirit when you start talking about Jesus.
John 16:13–14 ESV
Acts 8:36-38 ESV
Acts 8:37 NKJV
You can speak to the One, because the Holy Spirit will show up.
Acts 8:39 ESV
He went away rejoicing because He was reading from Isaiah:
Isaiah 56:3–5 ESV
Q. What holds you back from speaking openly about Jesus, and how does the Spirit help redirect the focus from fear to truth?
Practical Application:
Pray for one opportunity this week to speak about Jesus naturally and faithfully, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide your words and reveal Jesus through you.
Sermon in a Sentence:
God creates divine moments when we ALIGN with His movement—SHARING Jesus, ONE person at a TIME.
Three Key Takeaways
• God’s movement is personal, intentional, and centered on reaching ONE person at a time.
• Obedience creates clarity, and clarity positions us for divine moments.
• Speaking about Jesus is not about perfection but about alignment with the Spirit.
Closing Prayer:
Lord, thank You for inviting us into Your divine movement. Help us leave this time ready to go where You lead, seek those who are left out, and speak boldly about Jesus. Keep our eyes open for divine moments and our hearts aligned with Your purpose. Use us to reach ONE person at a time for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.
