We Have Seen And Heard - Will We Turn?
At the end of the book of Acts, we’re left with a challenge; one that’s reiterated throughout the pages of Scripture. It’s the challenge of taking action based on what has been seen and heard. Paul’s Jewish audience in Rome heard the preaching of the Gospel from Paul’s own lips, yet they only bickered among themselves about his message, refusing to turn to Christ in faith. In similar fashion, we have heard the message of the Gospel and the timeless traits of the Church over the course of the last 10 months in Acts. While we have experienced the fruit of the Holy Spirit among us in many ways, there are still plenty of ways that we as a church body and as individuals have opportunities to respond.
