Week One: "The Spirit is for Everyone"



Over the next several weeks, we’ll be journeying through the book of Acts in a new sermon series called Bearing Witness.


Acts tells the story of a church learning, again and again, what it means to follow the Holy Spirit beyond the boundaries it would have chosen for itself. The disciples are sent, empowered, challenged, surprised, and sometimes even changed by what God is already doing around and through them.


Their story is our story. We're going to explore what it means to bear witness to Jesus not only with our words, but with our lives: through the ways we serve, the people we notice, the boundaries we cross, the courage we show, and the grace we share.


These stories invite us to think about our vocation. In baptism, every Christian is called to participate in God’s work in the world: in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, relationships, congregation, and community.


Where is the Holy Spirit calling you to bear witness?


Join us as we listen for the Spirit's call, discover where God is already at work, and consider how we are being sent to bear witness to Jesus in the world.
