Today we return to focusing on Peter after a few weeks looking at Paul’s salvation story. As a reminder, Element is going through the book of Acts because we want to come face to face with what Jesus called the early church to be, how they at times fell short, and how they learned from their mistakes. We are looking at these things so you can know what a church is called to be in the world today!
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.
