The first century church had great expectations of what God would do - in them and through them. And they had an amazing impact on their city, region and the world. But many today have low expectations - and have little impact.

Biblical expectations are that:

• we will be transformed, more and more like Jesus

• we will represent Jesus wherever we go

• we will make disciples of Jesus wherever we are

• the church will change the whole world!
