Today is week 26 of our series through the first half of the book of Acts. In Acts we see the beginnings of the early church, what God did, and how He moved His grace forward. Our hope is that if you someday move away from the area you will know what things to look for in a church because of what we study in this series. A church should love Jesus, teach truth, but also be humble enough to admit its mistakes and strong enough to stand by the vision that God gave it.
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.
