Community and Our Connection with Jesus Christ

What do you think of when you hear the word “missionary”? Today we’ll hear the story of some of the first Christian missionaries and learn about today’s missionaries and short-term mission teams.

What change, move, or journey have you had to make even though you did not want to, or it was very difficult? How did you deal with it? How did your faith help you? Today we’ll hear how some early Christians dealt with an unwanted move and a difficult journey.

Has someone hurt or abused you or someone you know, and then claimed they had changed? How do you decide whether or not to forgive, trust someone, or give them another chance? Today we’ll hear how the early Christians responded when their former persecutor claimed he was now a follower of Christ.
