New Series: The Church: Unstoppable

It’s not uncommon for a dynamic leader to leave a company or movement and see everything fall to pieces.
 
Steve Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in the garage of Jobs’ parents. What started as a small startup would eventually become one of the largest companies in the world. But the road there wasn’t exactly smooth.
 
In 1985, Steve Jobs was fired from the company he helped create after major disagreements with Apple’s leadership. At first, Apple survived without him. But over time, the company began to lose its innovative edge. Roughly a decade later, Apple was nearing collapse and desperately trying to rediscover its identity. In one of the greatest comeback stories in business history, Apple rehired Jobs as CEO, and the company was completely transformed.
 
That pattern is common. A visionary leader leaves, and eventually the movement loses momentum.
 
Which makes Christianity so strange.
 
Around 2,000 years ago, Jesus ascended into heaven, leaving behind a small group of ordinary followers with no political power, no wealth, and no influence. Most people probably assumed the movement would slowly disappear.
 
Instead, it exploded across the world.
 
Why?
 
Because Jesus didn’t abandon His mission when He ascended. Unlike Steve Jobs leaving Apple, Jesus never stopped leading His church. He still rules, reigns, and works through His people today. When Jesus sent the church into the world, he didn’t send us alone, he sent us with his Spirit and his power.
 
That’s why the church is unstoppable.
This Sunday we’re launching a brand-new 10-week series through the book of Acts called The Church Unstoppable. Together we’ll discover how the risen Jesus continued His mission through ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit, and how He’s still doing it today.
 
Plus, you won’t want to miss our Mother’s Day celebration and baby dedication. See you Sunday!
