Engage your whole congregation in a formative study on the book of Acts and explore what it means to be the world-changing church that Jesus intended.
We Are the Church … Let's Act Like It Sermon Starters include reflections and prompts to help pastors write their own message for each week's topic along with a passage from Acts, a Gospel lesson, a prayer, and a benediction for use in worship. The reflections and prompts are in three sections: Introduction, Explore the Scriptures, and Let's Act Like It.
Equip and encourage your church to be an active and transformative presence in the world.
