We Are the Church… Let’s Act Like It
A Study on the Book of Acts
Linda Tower Pevey
Racial prejudices, disagreements over theology, clashes with religious leaders…
Church problems are nothing new.
According to the book of Acts, the early church had to work through challenges that are eerily similar to those facing churches today. As was true of the early church, the Holy Spirit is still active in our lives today, helping us navigate these challenges and leading us into new ways of ministering and transforming the world.
We Are the Church…Let’s Act Like It is a 7-week study on the book of Acts. This study helps Christian faith communities discern where God is working in their church and their community, and how God is equipping them through their spiritual gifts, personal experiences, and social context to join in God’s transforming mission.
This study is ideal for small-group use and has weekly interactive group activities and discussion questions. Sermon Starters are also available as an additional purchase.
