The First Dream Team
How do you know when you have the right team for the job?
That depends on the job, of course.
What if the job is making Outsiders into insiders? Making those who can’t belong into those welcomed with open arms? What sort of team would you assemble? One that would appeal to those whom you are trying to reach?
As our exploration of the Acts of the Apostles continues —this week we consider Acts 13 — we just might find that the answers the earliest church came up with surprise us.
* What might we contemporary followers of Jesus learn from the example of our first spiritual ancestors?
* What myths and/or misconceptions do we have about how the early church got started?
* Have you had a moment of Holy Spirit-fueled courage confronting evil like Paul in this story?
* What evil needs confronting today? How should we do so?
Pastor Dave contemplates these questions and more in his sermon, “The First Dream Team.”
Series Information
In this sermon series, the story of the early church unfolds before us. Many of the challenges they faced are the same (or very similar) to the ones we face in 2018. Questions around leadership, why we should believe in the first place, who to believe and the age-old question of who is “in” and who should be kept “out”.
