Last week I shared that the word that we translate “church” is the Greek word “ekklesia” which means, “the people called to assemble for a specific purpose.” The church, in Jesus’ mind, was never merely a location, it’s always been people who come together for a specific purpose.

At MCC we say that we come together to be equipped to Love God, Love People, and Live on Mission.

God was about to build a kingdom without borders, and He would call it the church. The Book of Acts is a history of the church written by Luke. And when we want to understand what God intended the church to be, this is where we look.

And last week we looked at the church being born and taking its first breath, the first message of the church, 3000 people being baptized. And we were off and running.

This week we will see what happened immediately after.
