THIS SUNDAY! Join Element at Ferini Park in Los Alamos at 9:00am for ONE Church Service In The Park! All are welcome. Help us Celebrate together with Old Days.
Element is heading through the book of Acts in an effort to better understand the early church (and what the church today should be as well). The book of Acts is full of what are known as prescriptive texts, that means it explains what happened. Acts shows us a good pattern to follow to be a church that honors Jesus.
The early opposition against the disciples preaching the gospel is shown in Acts mainly from religious people. The religious people were against what was known as the Oral Law, the Oral Law was a way to apply the Scriptures to every day life.
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.
