The Mission Continues

August 21, 2022 • Derek A. Ward • Acts 28:11–31

Acts is a historical narrative that chronicles the life of the early church as it spreads geographically from Jerusalem to Rome and demographically from predominantly Jewish members to include Gentiles. As we study the last chapter of this book, it is clear that the conclusion leaves us on a high without even telling us what became of Paul. Well, join Pastor Derek as he shares on the topic "the mission continues", encouraging you to deliberately add to the narrative of being witnesses of Christ and building the church.
