The Truth About the Truth - It Can’t Just Be About Us 8/16/26

Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:42-47

I. The Great Commission

a. Matthew 28:18-20

b. Go

c. Make disciples

d. Baptize

e. Teach them to obey what He said.

f. Know that you are not alone in your efforts

g. Was this commission only for the apostles? OR are you and I supposed to do the same?

h. Acts 1:8

i. This is what happens when we treat the truth for what it is...

j. Acts 2, we see what happens when that truth is passionately lived out

II. The Acts Church

a. On the day of pentecost

b. Acts 2:42-47

c. They were devoted to the apostles teaching

d. They were devoted to fellowship, communion and prayer

e. They witnessed signs and wonders, again not as a goal but proof of the powerful presence of God in the first century church.

f. They shared all they had.

g. They met together regularly - in the temple and their own homes.

h. They enjoyed the favor of the surrounding community.

i. God added daily those being saved.

III. So...?

a. If the truth is not just about us, is church meant to be just about us?

b. Stop and ask yourself...what do we see ins Acts 2:42-47 passage?

c. If the gospel isn’t just for us, then the church isn’t just about us either?

d. We start by seeking to passionately follow Jesus

e. Out of that passionate discipleship comes a heart for lost people

f. Once upon a time there was a church...

g. If the truth is not just about us and church isn’t just about us, then we have to take a look at how we do church now and why we do it that way.

h. If our preferences got in the way of reaching the lost would we be willing to change?

i. Luke 15:4-7

j. Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

k. John 4:35 I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

l. Because the truth isn’t just about us.

m. And His church isn’t just for us either.

Learning Opportunities

Midweek Bible Study - Wednesday 6pm - New Adult Bible Study - Formed: This nine-week series moves through eight classic spiritual disciplines, framed not as tasks to check off but as practices that God uses to reshape what we love. Each week follows the same structure: an opening question to get the group talking, a core theological anchor from Scripture, a teaching section that can be read aloud or taught freely, discussion questions, a practice to try during the week, and a closing prayer. Come and join us!
