// May 16th, 2010 // Agapè, Rafael, sermons, thoughts

Today we closed the sermon series on Acts in our church. Acts is a fascinating book (the 5th one of the New Testament and the second by author Luke) describing the dynamic development of the first-century church.

The series was built around 10 main figures (or groups) in the story of Acts, each one representing a characteristic of the movement. This angle made up for a very diverse and interesting series. Listen to them on the Rafael Almere sermon pages.

The ten figures and the characteristics:

Acts in 10 figures

Peter	Spirit	Power to change
Ananias and Safira	Lifestyle	An example of how not to...

Barnabas	Discipleship	Growth and multiplication
Paul	Commitment	To live is Christ, to die is gain
The people of Athens	Relevance	The gospel for everyone in every context
Apollos	Training	The importance of doctrine
Agrippa	Momentum	God's plan is for Jew and heathen
