Over two billion people alive today chose to call themselves Christians, but this was not always the case. The story of Jesus began with a very small group of followers in the city of Jerusalem. From this humble beginning the message of Jesus has spread around the world to impact people of different cultures and languages. The story of Jesus has persisted over thousands of years. The book of Acts offers us a detailed story of the incredible beginning of the church, and it teaches us how to carry out the mission of the church in our world today.
The beginning of Acts shows us the mission that Jesus gave the early church and the promise he makes for how it will be fulfilled. This week we will explore how this mission and promise are still an important piece of our faith today.
