Acts 2 tells the story of the birth of the church as the Holy Spirit is given. So what kinds of things did the early church do? Why? What can this mean for us today?
Acts of the Apostles
The Book of Acts tells an amazing story. It tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.
For us, coming out of the pandemic (we hope!), there may be no better time than now to explore this story together as a church. What can we learn about ‘being the church’ through this amazing story together? And how might God long to recapture our imaginations and rekindle His vision for the church in us as we look at this story together as The Gathering?
This fall, join us at The Gathering as we begin our journey through the book of Acts and look to receive fresh inspiration from God as we join Him in His mission today.
Acts of the Apostles: The Church’s First Sermon
As the Church was being formed, Peter preached a doozy of a sermon. It was offensive, but many still responded. Why? What does it all mean?
Acts of the Apostles: Pentecost
This message is called "Pentecost", where our Lead Pastor Jeff Jantzi works through Acts 2:1-13. The day of Pentecost is one of the most significant days in the history of the church, if not the entire world. But why? What does Pentecost mean for us today as followers of Jesus?
Acts of the Apostles: Guest Speaker Josh Wang
Special Guest Speaker, Josh Wang, from Renewal Church in Barrhaven is here!! As Jesus emerges from the wilderness, Luke records that he is filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. In his first recorded public teaching Jesus declares these liberating words of God - that God’s heart is marked by forgiveness and his forgiveness has many dimensions that deal with freedom from sin, social, economic, and psychological oppression. Tomorrow we'll take a short break from the book of Acts as Josh teaches through this very important passage.
