The Book of Acts Series

The Book of Acts tells the story of how the risen Jesus continued His work through ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit. As a companion to our journey through the Gospel of Mark, this series explores what it means to follow Jesus with courageous faith, participate in authentic Christian community, and join God's mission in everyday life. Along the way, we'll discover how God's grace welcomes unlikely people into His family, how the Spirit continues to lead and empower His church, and how the good news of Jesus brings lasting hope to the world.
