The Hand of the Lord

The Hand of the Lord

Through a study of the book of Acts, we're asking the Spirit to conform us to the patterns and practices of the early church — a people who love the lost like Jesus, give of themselves in rhythms of blessing and hospitality, and who seek to engage in curious, spiritual, and gospel conversations. We want the Spirit to do an Acts 1-2 kind of work, fulfilling Jesus’s promise in Acts 1:8: You will receive power, and you will be my witnesses. This week, the church mourns the loss of James, is surprised by the imprisonment and release of Peter, and continues to grow and multiply.
