When The World Has Lost It’s Mind

10/03/2021

October 3, 2021 • Acts 21:17–36

As we near the end of our study on the Book of Acts, we journey with Paul back to Jerusalem as he finishes his third missionary journey. As he’s preached the gospel throughout the Roman Empire, he’s also been raising money to bring back to the needy Jerusalem church.

But he stumbles into a powder keg. Revolution is in the air. Partisan tensions abound. Everyone is on edge. Fear permeates day-to-day life. Sound familiar?

What can we learn from Paul as we contemplate how to live according to the way of Jesus in our fragile world?

November 14, 2021 • Acts 28

Week 37: Unstoppable Kingdom - A Journey Through Acts November 14 - Acts 28 Over the last couple of weeks in our series on the Book of Acts, we’ve slowed down a bit to sharpen our focus on transformation. Specifically, we acknowledge that God loves us, and out of that love, calls us to repent (aka a change of mind/heart ultimately leading to a change in our behavior). He does this because he doesn’t want to leave us where we are – in our sin, our addiction, our selfishness, our paranoia, and our pain. But there’s another reason he calls us to repent. He desires to use us – in our gradually transforming state – to bring healing to those around us… because he loves them, too! So there’s a lot at stake. The million-dollar question, of course, is how to engage this transformation. And that’s what we’re talking about this Sunday in our final session on the Book of Acts.

November 7, 2021 • Galatians 5:19–25

Week 36: Unstoppable Kingdom - A Journey Through Acts Nov 7, 2021 - Galatians 5:19-25 As we’ve studied the Book of Acts this year, many of us have noticed a contrast between the early church and our own. This has led to a longing for God to do among us what he did so many centuries ago — the manifestation of his power, his deliverance, the transformation of our world, and a church singularly devoted to the glory of Jesus and the good of all people. Curiously, these primitive believers didn’t have all the advantages we have today: countless bible studies and curricula, conferences, worship music, and the like. What they did have was a sincere faith and simple (not shallow) practices that guided their lives. What if we who have been rescued by Jesus adopted those same practices?
