If anyone today can find a Bible, a sermon and a church online in seconds, does telling someone about Jesus face to face still make sense? This sermon leads to the desert road to Gaza, where Philip leaves a fruitful ministry in the city to join the chariot of one foreigner reading the prophet Isaiah (Acts 8). Out of that meeting grows a very practical question: what do we actually talk about when we talk about faith, ourselves, our church, or Jesus? Listen if you are looking for courage and wisdom for ordinary conversations about God.
An Important Message
Ekklesia
The Church was not invented by humans, but was Jesus’ own idea. He knew perfectly well that one cannot be a Christian alone, because we all need relationships. Therefore, as we read the story of the Church’s beginnings, we want to remind ourselves anew of what our mission in this world is and take a look at some of the practices of the early Christians that help build true community.
