In Part II of our Acts Series, To the Ends of the Earth, we will consider the church’s expansion beyond Jerusalem into Judea, Samaria, and all the World. This series will cover Acts 9:32-20:38 and all the missionary activities of Peter, Paul, and others. In Acts 1:8 Jesus told his disciples and us that we would be spirit empowered witnesses to the ends of the Earth. I invite you to join us as we learn from the growth of the church beyond Jerusalem and into the Gentile world how we can be spirit empowered witness for Jesus today.
Today we will be jumping into Acts 11 looking at the surprising work of God among the Gentiles and the surprising response by faithful believers to join God in what he is doing. Sometimes it is easy to miss what God is doing, or even be offended at his work. We want to know what God has said about what he is going to do in the world, be able to identify it, and be faithful to join him as he goes about his work to redeem the world in Christ. This passage will challenge us in some great ways to join God in what he is doing in SLC and the world.
Please be aware that we will not be having Discipleship Hour during the 9:15 hour. This includes our Children’s ministry and Adult small groups. We will only be having worship service at our regular time of 10:30 AM.
We will have a place for children who have completed Kindergarten and younger during the service.
