Acts 29, The Identity & Mission of the Church

In the sermon this past Sunday, we wrapped up the “Acts - The Unstoppable Church” sermon series by recapping the main outline of the story and asking the question, “What happened next? ”Acts is the story of God’s people, empowered by the Holy Spirit, launching the mission to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. As the church advances from Jerusalem to the nations, we see a powerful work of God in and

through His church, defying all odds to grow beyond anything the

disciples could have ever imagined. However, the ends of the earth are not completely reached in the book of Acts. Fortunately, the story of the church doesn’t end with the book of Acts. The story of God’s unstoppable church is still being written today. As Christians, our stories are the

small stories that make up the bigger story of what God is doing on Earth. As God works in and through our lives, the mission continues and God’s Kingdom advances as The Unstoppable Church.

Do you see yourself as a part of the church at Solid Rock like we read about in Acts?

Have you truly let go of all of your prejudices against those who aren’t like you to embrace your identify as part of God’s family? (race, social status, personality struggles) How can you be more intentional to share the “excellencies” of God in your everyday life?
