Jesus ascended and sent the Spirit so we would be His witnesses to the entire world, including to our own neighborhoods and workplaces. We need to understand that we have been sent to live on mission with and for Him. We probably will not understand everything He calls us into as part of His mission, but we can and should trust Him.
The book of Acts is not the “beginning” of the “church,” it is about God’s continuing mission in the world. There has only ever been one plan, God’s. In this series of the book of Acts we hope to do three main things: 1) To see the continuing mission of God as He brings to fulfilment His church, 2) That people would have a good idea what to look for in a church if/when they transition out of our town (or church), 3) Create a deeper understanding that when we live on mission for Jesus, we won’t understand everything He is doing, but we can trust Him.
