In Acts we have been looking at how the early Christian Church got its start with the goal that we as individuals, and the church as a whole, would understand what it takes to make a “good” church. We want to be a church that focuses on Jesus so that our lives also focus on Jesus; we want to live as God’s hands, feet, and voice to the world. We want to serve those around us in the church and those outside of the church.
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.
