When Bodies Become Bridges

Published: Aug. 21, 2019, 6 p.m.

This Sunday, the ninth Sunday after Pentecost, we will continue our sermon series, Acts: Stories, Scenes, & Spirit. 

The text we will explore together is Acts 11:19-30, in which the borders between regions are crossed, the church grows with unlikely outsiders, and two congregations meet each other in a moment of need. At the center of all this work are people whom God calls to cross the borders, people who share the good news, and people who connect one congregation to the other.

More than just mere 'bridge-builders,' God uses these people as the actually bridges between Jew and Gentile, Antioch and Jerusalem, having enough and being in-need. How is God using Loop Church as a bridge? What borders we crossing? What good news is being shared? Who is being connected?

Loop Church is part of the Christian Reformed Church of North America and worships in Chicago, IL at 410 S. Michigan Ave. in the Fine Arts Building.
