Alexandria Covenant Church

Responding to God's Word

Sharing Jesus with others will result in a variety of responses. Paul’s experience in three different communities shows us that some people will resist the Word of God, some will receive the Word of God, and others will ridicule the Word of God. When sharing Jesus with others, God wants us to be faithful to the Word of God and leave the results up to Him. --- God can do amazing things through ordinary people who are empowered by the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit was given to all believers and the church was born. The church is God's chosen instrument in the world for sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. The book of Acts is all about the unhindered movement of God throughout the world as the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed through the church. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the early church was an unstoppable movement that proclaimed the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ as the only way to eternal life. Today, the church empowered by the Holy Spirit is called to continue God's redeeming work in the world by fulfilling God's mission of making Jesus known to the ends of the earth.
