Sermon Series: the book of Acts

Today Pastor Drew started a new sermon series based on the book of Acts in the Bible. It's titled Transformational Church and it's all about what we can learn from the testimony of the first Christians that Luke wrote down.

Series theme: The church turned the world upside down (really right side up!) by continuing the gospel mission that Christ initiated.  The gospel is the “good news” of God redeeming the whole world.

A seismic shift in human history and God’s plan of redemption took place when Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead.  The temple veil was torn and the tomb was left empty. God is on the loose and advancing His Kingdom in a new way. Any seismic shift is followed by a ripple effect of corresponding magnitude. In this case we’re not talking about a pebble in a pond type ripple but rather a tsunami. It’s global and powerful beyond imagination but it’s redemptive, not destructive. That’s the nature of the kingdom of God upon the earth. It’s unstoppable and positively impacts the whole world. What are we to make of and do about this global God movement?
