The Gospel on Trial

The Gospel on Trial

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 3-4 kind of work this week, fulfilling Jesus’ promise in Acts 1.8: You will receive power, and you will be my witnesses. This week, the gospel message is on trial. But what we find is that it is so much more than just a message; it is a living and risen savior, and that as that message is on trial, God is more faithful and alive than we ever knew. God is sovereign and also involved as trials come. We get to continue to participate, knowing He is the faithful one and working.
