The Church Defined: Defined By Mission
July 13, 2025
This week, we concluded our series The Church Defined by turning to Acts 28. What began in Acts 1 with a fearful group of disciples has grown into a bold, Spirit-empowered movement reaching all the way to Rome. Though the book of Acts ends, the story of the Church does not. Paul, even while under house arrest, continued "proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance" (Acts 28:31). The Gospel kept moving forward—unstoppable and unhindered. This isn’t just Paul’s story; it’s ours too. We explored three key truths about the Gospel’s mission and what it means to be a people defined by that mission—because God is still writing His story, and we are invited to live it.
