THE VOICE OF THE CHURCH The Church is a needed voice in culture, but due to our failure to remain distinct we have lost this. To be valued again in society we will need to relearn how to think, speak, and act.
“The Church Must Rise Above” : Acts 22:22–23:35 The Church must rise above the negativity of culture. We are accountable to God for our words, actions, and attitudes.

Acts 21:1-26 - The Church The Church is called to obey Jesus faithfully even when the calling is challenging or painful. Trusting Jesus this way allows Him to be glorified through you.
Acts 18:24 - 19:41 - “The Church Transforms a City” The Church is a community of transformed people, and when transformed people engaged locally they see entire cities changed to glorify God.
“The Church Is For All People” - Acts 18 The Church is Christ’s messenger to the entire world, not just those who are like us. This often takes us beyond where we are comfortable.
