“A New Beginning”
Acts 1
The big idea of church started people and them spreading this amazing work of the gospel of Christ Jesus
Church in the Greek - assembly or gathering (congregation)
Jesus’ mission was a simple one but because of our human condition we tend to complicate this
Acts shows us that Christ has powerful plan to connect his children closer to him and his people
Acts introduces to us the beginning of the church and its design and purpose
God’s plan is to encourage and move generations’ hearts and faith closer to the Lord through the powerful truths of Christ
Acts 1:1 “In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach”
The church is a continuation of how Christ is still at work in our lives today
Acts 1:6-7 “So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. “
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
We become witnesses when Christ comes alive in us
Simply reminding others what Christ has done, is doing and will do
The church doesn't operate through a building; it operates through FAITH!
Share your faith story to others of his greatness
