Do you think church is fundamentally a place to do Bible study about what people used to experience a long time ago, or do you think that church is an invitation for the things that happened a long time ago in the Bible to be experienced again today?

What would it look like to truly know...

To you know who you're singing to? To know what God's capable of? To know what has been purchased? To know the power of the blood? To know the beauty of Jesus?

How did the church become an unstoppable revolution that turned the world upside down? How did this ragtag group of unemployed fishermen and zealots and zealots and tax collectors from backwoods Galilee -- most of whom who had never traveled 50 miles away from where they were born -- How did they change the world?

During this series we will take an in depth study of the book of Acts, and how the early Church turned the world upside down.

1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

4 And while staying[a] with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

The Ascension

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

Acts 1:1-11
