Timeout: Team Meeting (18 of 18)
Series: Unfinished - Acts
Tim Badal
Acts 1:8
We are coming to the end of the first half of the book of Acts. We have just finished Acts 12, which gives us a natural break in this book. So we're going to stop for our summer break right here. We have seen how God's Great Commission for His church has been lived out in places like Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. We've seen the church take strong root in Jerusalem. Then men like Philip, Stephen and even Peter began to reach out to Samaria. Then recently we've read how some of the ''uttermost parts'' of the world were beginning to be reached-but we'll leave most of those accounts until we pick up the series this fall.
Today we're going to do a recap of what we've covered so far in Acts. Then this summer we'll move over to Hebrews 11, studying various biographies of the great men and women mentioned there who lived by faith. We'll call this series ''Heroes,'' in which we'll see how God took ordinary people and used them to do extraordinary things-and we'll learn that God can do the same things through us today.
I'm calling a ''timeout'' this morning so we can have a team meeting. We'll review what we've learned and what we've been called to, and hopefully will have time to consider where God may be leading us in the future. Let's go back to our starting point in Acts 1:8, which is the key verse for the entire book. Many of you who have studied the Bible know this verse well.
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He essentially called a last team meeting with His eleven disciples. He tells them, ''But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'' As we have seen, God's promise was true and we are a byproduct of the greatest movement that has ever taken place. Now we have a part to play in that unfinished work, so let's look at the work God has given us to do ...
