The Story of the Bible: Acts

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar walked us through the birth of the early church in Acts 1-2, using the powerful imagery of a sailboat to describe our walk with God. Just as a boat drifts aimlessly without the wind, we often find ourselves exhausted by "rowing"—trying to manage our schedules and ministries through human effort and "motors" of self-sufficiency. We are invited instead to wait on God in expectant prayer, raise our sails through the bold proclamation of Jesus, and align our lives with the Spirit through repentance. When we stop relying on our own "diesel fuel" and surrender to the Holy Spirit, we experience the uncommon unity and supernatural power that defined the early church and continues to fuel His mission today.
