Acts: Turning the World Upside Down | News That is Bigger Than Traditions and Preferences

The author of the book of Acts, Luke, would make a lot of high school English teachers happy. He introduces his main idea of the book in the beginning, and traces it through the whole story from there. The big idea is that the power of the Spirit has come and will take the gospel to new places. But, no one ever said it would be easy. In this story, we see how the good news of Jesus begins to brush up against tradition and preferences—and how it continues to do so for us today as we try to take the message of Acts seriously in our own churches and fellowship.
