Summer Sermon Series

Back to Acts: Built Up & Sent Out

The book of Acts tells the story of the first Christians — built up in Jesus Christ and sent out by the Holy Spirit. What begins with the eyewitness accounts of a few Jewish fishermen launches a movement that changed the world. Thousands of years later the book still compels us to ask: What gave them courage, purpose, and unity? What about their message changed the course of history? And what relevance does this have for us today? 

Come and be built up and sent out this summer as we explore Acts 10-17, picking up where we left-off at the end of last summer. In these chapters we will see how the gospel opens doors, creates conflict, and leads to reconciliation with God and one another.
