Acts 18:18-28 NIV
The message of the kingdom is spreading. Paul is busy going from community to community encouraging disciples so that when he leaves the sharing of the Gospel will continue to grow and edify the church, giving glory to God.
I also heard this story from some of the speakers here at the NALC Mission Festival over the last day. It was a good reminder that some of us are definitely not called to be chaplains to a congregation; but, evangelists. It was a reminder that we are called to go out into the world proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom in Christ Jesus to all people. If we think that going to Worship on Sundays whether it is in a traditional building or a house church, let us all think again. Being a Christian, is being a follower and disciple of Christ. We need to leave those safe sanctuaries and share the Good News that all might inherit their place in the presence and Kingdom of God.
