Go West Young Man

Sunday Sep 18, 2016
This sermon takes its title from a Horace Greely quote during the westward migration in the infancy of the United States. The sermon text comes from Acts 13:1-5 in which the church in Syrian Antioch commissioned Paul and Barnabas to begin a westward push of the gospel to central Turkey and parts west of there. This sermon looks at the four characteristics of the first century church and shows how LifeSpring can imitate them as well: trusting God, being sensitive to God's call, focus on mission, and unification in purpose.

This sermon looks at the development of the church, since the first century, from a missional form to an institutional, Christendom form. The sermon looks at what that means for the church today as well as what we should be doing about it to restore a first century ethos.
