Equipped for Mission
The book of Acts is all about Jesus. Though it is a book narrating the history of the early church, it is nonetheless all about Jesus. Through the Church, Jesus continued and continues His mission of reconciling the world back to God. In this sermon, we look at the first 11 verses of Acts to see how Jesus equips His people for His mission.

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
I guess it won’t surprise you that Christians believe in the Lord Jesus Christ – after all, he is the one we are meant to follow – a Christ-ian = follower of Christ. What may surprise you is that although Jesus is well respected all over the world, his followers aren’t. “It’s not Jesus I have trouble with – it’s the church”. So as we say “we believe in the Lord Jesus” – we also ask how we can emulate him more and more. In this series we’re attempting to grasp a whole picture in a few summary words. Pages have been written about Jesus; here is our précis: We believe .. The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life in obedience to the Father. He taught with authority and all his words are true. On the cross he died in the place of sinners, bearing God's punishment for their sin, redeeming them by his blood. He rose from the dead and in his resurrection body ascended into heaven where he is exalted as Lord of all. He intercedes for his people in the presence of the Father. We don’t have Jesus here with us on earth; we have someone better – his Holy Spirit who takes up residence in every true believer. But we would never have him, had not Jesus personally come here and completed his God-appointed work. That’s why we are worshippers of Jesus; that’s why he’s the kingly ruler of all his followers. And that’s why you and I must proudly take his name all over the world.

Community is...
God commits to make a people for Himself. This is His plan, to redeem a “people,” not just individuals. We’re not saved to be isolated individuals. This church, His people, our community, is what Christ died for and it is what we are saved into. The story of the Bible is the story of God fulfilling His promise to be our God as His people. So how do we do community? We do this by calling you into a messy community life where you “devote” yourself to learning the Gospel in fellowship with one another. This is not clean and tidy, but messy and disorganized at times. It isn’t a program to be attended, a curriculum to be mastered, but instead a life to be lived as the Gospel comes and regularly breathes new life into our wandering hearts.
