"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," goes the famous quote from Santayana. When Paul gets a chance to address a congregation on what some call the "First Missionary Journey," his theme is history - specifically Jewish history: the faithfulness of God and the failures of His people. It may remind you of Stephen's sermon. It certainly had the same bite. We'll be in Acts 13 for a message called Through the Jews, to the Gentiles, after Jim opens with prayer.

We think our world is changing fast - but we've got nothing on the first century! Even after Jesus ascended, tidal waves of change continued to break. The Jewish sect called The Way was flooded with Gentiles; the persecutor Saul became the persecuted Paul; evangelism was democratized. It's that last "disruption" that Jim would like to talk about today, in his sermon, Empowering People to be Witnesses.

We're like paper towels - we're absorbent! Now, there's no use denying it; if you think you haven't soaked up any of your culture, you haven't gone to another culture yet. When the first missionaries were sent out from Antioch, they found that God had provided a bridge between cultures - in the person of Barnabas. Continuing our survey of the Acts of the Apostles, we'll start a new sermon from Jim today. It's called, Launching the Original Mission.

"But we've always done it this way" wouldn't have seemed like a good argument in the young church. The changes are breathtaking in those early years - God is opening up the church, opening up the ministry, moving, expanding. And the devil isn't doing a very good job of keeping up. Friday we opened the 11th and 12th chapters of Acts to try to get a sense of what's happening in this blur of motion. Here's Jim to continue that sermon.

Why didn't Jesus answer the Disciples' question about When? ...Or did He? Yesterday we began looking into Acts 1, and the naive but logical question posed by the Eleven: OK, Lord, we've enjoyed all the fellowship with You since Your resurrection; but it's been 40 whole days already. Isn't it about time...? The answer was beyond them, and right under their fingertips.

Did Jesus really tell the Disciples that the timing of the Kingdom was none of their business? We tend to read Acts 1:7 like that. "It's not for you to know..." sounds like, "That's above your pay grade." But there's a rich subtext under Jesus' answer - 39 books' worth. Jim begins a sermon called All the Prophets Said.
