1.17.21 // Acts Intro

We're so thrilled to begin the book of Acts, and to discuss the birth of the church, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the first years of the early church! Pastor Lance introduces this instrumental book by encouraging us to allow God's Holy Spirit to speak to us, realign our hearts with Him, and to abandon our preconceived ideas of who He is. He points out that many influences may shape how we view the third Person of the Godhead, including culture, religion, and other people's perspectives, but that the best way to learn more about the Holy Spirit is by allowing Him to speak for Himself. How does He want to work in your life today, in this new year? Pastor Lance outlines that Acts picks up where the gospels leave off, continuing the story of Christ and His church for the next 39 years. This book displays the power of God, the intimacy in which we must live with the Holy Spirit for effective and relational ministry, and the truth of how Jesus wanted His Church to operate in His might. Join us in starting this unforgettable journey into the book of Acts!
