From the Church to the World | Russ Whitfield

Scripture Reference: Acts 1:1-11
Acts 1:1-11 examines the church’s role in God’s mission. It explores how Jesus’ ascension marks the continuation of His work through His people and warns against the dangers of mission drift. This message calls believers to remain focused on the gospel and to joyfully embrace their role as witnesses to the ends of the earth.

The Holy Catholic Church, Communion of Saints | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 9:1-19

Much has been said, that doesn’t bear repeating, on the consistent anti-institutional bent of the present age. Talk of “the church” seems quaint to those who long for authenticity. But we believe in “the holy catholic church” which means that believing people find their primary identity in the collection of others who are so united to Christ.

Sermon Points:

  • The Reality of the Church
  • The Meaning of the Church
