‘Men wanted for hazardous journey…’


Reality check #1: We must go through many hardships…

Proud plots

Superstition and stoning


Reality check #2: All that God had done through them!

Bold, effective, confirmed proclamation

great numbers believe

churches are strengthened


Dangerous journey: The pilgrim’s progress from this world to that which is to come

What’s your mission?


An international church sends out an international mission


This mission:

is God’s mission!

is what all history has been straining towards

proclaims beautiful news to all nations

provokes fierce opposition

brings eternal life and global light and Spirit-filled joy


What’s your mission?

Storm clouds are coming…

The Spirit of the Lord provides for his hungry people (11:27-30)

The angel of the Lord rescues his imprisoned apostle (12:1-19)

The word of the Lord triumphs over a pretender King (12:20-24)

But the word of God continued to spread and flourish

A critical spirit?

A critical moment: even to Gentiles! (v. 1-18)

Ahead of the curve: Cypriots and Cyrenes go rogue (v. 19-21)

What the grace of God had done: The first ‘Christian’ church (v. 22-26)

“…he was glad and encouraged them to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.”

‘Tear down this wall!’

Jesus wonderfully transforms lives … among the Jews (9:32-43)

But what about Acts 1:8? The ends of the earth?

(From B.C. to A.D.: God’s holy people fulfilled in Jesus)

Jesus demonstrates his radical, global fulfilment

With two disturbing visions (10:1-16)

With two illegal house visits (10:17-33)

With two astonishing outpourings (10:34-48)


‘For he himself is our peace’ (Ephesians 2:11-22)

An unlikely convert?


The risen Lord breaks through with transforming light

The risen Lord binds together in shocking unity

The risen Lord sends out in suffering boldness

Lives transformed by the good news of Jesus throughout the Fleurieu region
