Welcome to La Jolla Online Worship, we're excited that you're joining us! Today, Pastor Paul is continuing the new sermon series called "Sent", looking at the book of Acts. At the beginning of the book of Acts we read that the disciples were looking intently into the sky as Jesus was ascending. Then two angels showed up and asked them why they were standing there looking into the sky. Basically, these angels were saying there is “work” to be done. Stop staring into the sky and get busy sharing the message that Jesus shared with you.
The book of Acts shows us how followers of Jesus were “sent” into the world to share about the transforming message of Jesus. This fall we want to think about what it means to be “sent” and what we can learn from the early church about sharing our faith with a society and world that does not always understand what Jesus was all about.
Today we're looking at Acts 6:1-7, and the sermon title is, "Caring for those in Need", it's the story of the Apostle's choosing seven deacons to help provide for the needs of the community. If you would like to connect with our church, you can find our website at ljpres.org. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
