Today, we are talking about a Grace that Welcomes Us and essentially giving a recap of everything that has happened in the book of Acts up to this point. Acts 9 is about helping the church (and us) understand the far reaching welcoming hands of God.
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.
