The Unfinished Task 11 – The Pilgrim God

The Pilgrim God Acts chapter 6, verse 8 to chapter 8, verse 1 “Where is God?” Often asked by kids, sometimes by older people. Not such a little question after all! The Charge, Acts 6:8-15 But Stephen’s face was like an angel’s. The Speech, Acts 7:1-53 The Church’s First Martyr, Acts 7:54-8:1 He dies using Jesus’ words. Faith is killed by fury.

The Unfinished Task 2 – Preparing for Gospel Growth

Preparing for Gospel Growth – Acts chapter 1, verses 12 to 26 There are many metaphors of the church: A Family The Bride of Christ A body A building Another metaphor: is the church a Cruise Ship or a Battleship?

Each does its part for the whole, for the ship’s mission. The…

The Unfinished Task 1 – The Foundation of Jesus’ Mission

The Foundation of Jesus’ Mission – Acts Chapter 1, verses 1 to 11 A new enterprise. Apple’s vision. A few projects, done with excellence.
