Church in Action: To Be Continued (Acts 28:30-31)
As a church family, we responded to this weekend’s event with extended corporate prayer and worship. You can get read a portion of this prayer here.
Summary: Our message was the final in the Church in Action series. We saw how the book of Acts ends with an enduring call for the church to be the Church, the instrument of God for mission. This story is still being written – what part of the story will you write?
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?
