“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

-Hebrews 13:8

This Sunday we embark on a journey into the New Testament book, “The Acts of the Apostles.”

I love that we have gone all the way through the Gospel of Luke and now are going spend a

bunch of months reading Luke’s second book which reports the activity of the Holy Spirit in the

early church. It’s so important to study the Gospel’s which we know as the story of Jesus, but it

is also very important to see how the church advances through the leading of the third Person of

the Trinity. Though we are not apostles, we can still expect God to move in many similar ways

that early church experienced. Some folks believe that the extraordinary events that occurred

through the apostles came to an end with the death of John. I’m not so sure and would never

doubt the power of Jesus working through His Church today. Perhaps, it is more a deficit in our

faith than a lack of desire on God’s part. Let’s believe that the power of God is still present

through His Church today!

Expectantly,

Pastor Chris Yount
