Why Not Us? (Acts 12:25 - 13:12)

Church In Action

Summary: In the Antioch church we see a church on the move, directed by the Spirit as a new people united in mission. The same Spirit directs us today. Could God not also use us? Reflection Questions: 1. Do you have a sense of call that is lying dormant? What passions and talents do you have that God might have given you the glory of his name? Are they being used? 2. What’s holding you back from stepping out on mission? Are you living expectantly? 3. Have you faced resistance before when seeking to obey the Lord’s will? What type of resistance do you anticipate if you step out into uncharted waters? 4. Who could you work with?

From Series: "Church In Action"

In Acts, the story follows the gospel expansion from city to city as Paul and his coworkers obey the Spirit’s call. As they proclaim the gospel, the word of the Lord spreads throughout Gentile lands and many become disciples. And something more. God establishes His church among various people and places. The churches are local, diverse, communal, and caught up in God’s saving mission. We see the gospel on the move – moving into cities, neighborhoods, lives. Settling in and turning the world upside down. The same God has the same good news. Through this series, we’ll look at the church now & then, here & there. What can we learn from its different receptions and different responses? In our time and place, what changes and what remains the same?
