We are continuing our sermon series through the first half of the book of Acts in order to better understand the beginnings of the Church and Jesus’ call to mission. We want to know what the Church should look like and understand that we can trust God even when we don’t understand what is going on. This week we look at how Christianity began to scatter and spread out. This scattering was not because the early church liked to travel, but the fact that God commanded the church to GO.
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.
