SERIES SUMMARY:
In the book of Acts in the Bible we learn that the early church - Jesus' first followers - was relentlessly devoted to what Jesus taught them to do. Because of their devotion, this group of ordinary people had a massive impact on the world in just one year. During this 12-part series, as we seek to be people who make a lasting impact on the world around us, we explore the key components of the first church and what it would like look if we lived with the same relentless devotion today.
