"Acts is ultimately not a biography about Paul. It's not about any one person. It's a story about God and the advacement of his gospel. However, in being caught up in God's story, our stories have far greater meaning and distinctiveness. The book of Acts is actually one that is not finished. The ending is deliberately open ended to show that the story goes on through us until the return of Christ. Will we be faithful to that call?This final sermon will take some of the larger themes in the book of Acts and explore them for our story and context. These themes include: (1) Christians are called to be counter cultural and turn the fundamental values of the world upside down; (2) God can be taken at his word, and so despite circumstances, we can still be faithful and confident in God's purposes; (3) We are called to specific people, some of whom only we can help."
