Understanding the big picture of Acts

Story of what God was doing through the early church.

The big picture is advancing the kingdom of God to all.

Acts 15:11

There are somethings worth fighting for.

We are saved by grace and grace alone.

Jesus + Nothing

Acts 15:8

God wants all people to come into his kingdom. There is no discrimination. 

Col. 3

Question: What kind of power would it take to turn a message of rejection into a message of acceptance?

How big would the 'yes' need to be to counter the 'no'?

We all stand in the need of the same grace.

Acts 15:6

How could we add our 'yes' to others today who are outside our walls?
