Ordinary People

HEROES...

Acts 28:31a
Proclaiming the Kingdom of God with all boldness and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ.

The book of Acts shows the history of the Christian church and its expansion in ever - widening circles to Jerusalem, Antioch, Ephesus, and Rome - the most influential cities in the western world. Acts also shows the mighty miracles and testimonies of the heroes and martyrs of the early church - Peter, Stephen, James, Paul. All the ministry was prompted held together by the Holy Spirit working in the lives of ordinary people - merchants, slaves, jailers, church leaders, men, women, Gentiles, Jews. Many unsung heroes of faith continued the acts of the Holy Spirit, changing the world with a changeless message: Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord for all who call upon Him. Today we can take part in the continuing story of the spreading of the gospel, bringing that same message to our world so that others may hear and believe.
