In our summer series, we will be looking at critical events in the book of Acts, starting with Jesus’ commission of his “sent ones” in Acts 1:1-11. The goal is for our church to become more like the original Christian church. We first need to reorient ourselves to the task that Jesus gave us for the time between his departure and his return: to be witnesses to the end of the earth.
The demons revealed that their only purpose is to destroy, while Jesus demonstrated his power to heal and restore.
In three related episodes, Jesus demonstrated his authority to forgive our sins.
The personal letter Paul wrote to Philemon contains a beautiful picture of redemption through the work of Christ.
