The Church That Did

They set out to spread the Gospel throughout the known world. And guess what? They did just that.

No doubt every church pulpit across America will flow with words of expectations for the new year. Some will talk about the up coming plans to expand, do more, create more, and buy more.

The early church was faced with many of the same things that plague the “modern” church.

But how many of them will focus on spreading the Gospel? No, I’m not talking about growing church ministry, but reaching out to the disenfranchised, the diseased in spirit, those who have given up on God and the super religious lost?

Now if I may juxtapose for a moment. The concept of “the modern church” is a nice way of saying “the unfocused church”. We have become so set on Sunday attendance, how many programs a church has, or how to market the pastor to make “our church” more attractive.

There was a church many, many years ago that did that. Even though they were faced with financial hardship, persecution, and ethnic rifts, they pressed on determined to spread the Gospel.
