The Church: Building Plans - Acts 13

Jesus promised that He would build His Church - an organized gathering of His people commissioned and empowered to carry on the mission He began. Throughout Acts, we see how the Church becomes more and more in line with His vision. In Acts 13, we learn how the Church prepared to serve the Lord through worship. We're also taught some very valuable truths about worship in this text. In this message, we discuss how worship is not an attempt to get God's attention, but a response to what God has already done. We find an awesome reminder that God's Spirit has descended to dwell with us, and through worship we set our hearts wholly on Him. The truth about worship is contrasted to an encounter with a magician, who represents our attempts to manipulate God, rather than surrender to and trust in Him.
