Now It's Your Turn (22 of 22)
Series: UnStoppable - Acts
Tim Badal
Acts 28:17-31
Let's turn one last time to the book of Acts, chapter 28. This is Palm Sunday, when Jesus triumphantly entered the city of Jerusalem. It's also the start of Easter week, which we will celebrate with the rest of God's church.''
This morning I want to bring our series to a close. We've invested a great amount of time in this book. For the last two school years, we've been on a journey to truly understand what God has for us as a church. That's true of every series we do. Every time we open God's Word, we want to hear from Him and know Him.
Our preaching and elder teams determined that we would study Acts because we want to be a church that is equipped to minister the way the people in Acts did. We want to be on mission for God and His kingdom, not only here, but all over the world. I'm very thankful to be part of a church that takes this call seriously and personally. I'm thankful we are sending people all over the world to share the good news of Jesus Christ because we believe in one truth, which is that the gospel is and always will be the only hope for the world. We have looked to a model like the book of Acts to ask, ''How did God move in the hearts, minds and lives of people who were just like us, so that they would radically change their world with the gospel of Jesus Christ?''
I want you to know this series has included over 50 sermons. I was trying to figure out how many hours we have spent as a church, including the time we've spent in our small groups. It's a massive number. We've spent massive energy seeking to understand what God's will is for us in light of what we've learned in Acts. My greatest concern is that we will be hearers of the Word and not doers (James 1:22-25), that we'll leave this book and simply say, ''Okay, we can cross that off our list of the Bible books we need to study.'' While we're to be commended for not allowing our itching ears to ...
