Description
The Identity and Mission of the Church
This sermon, based on Acts 1:15-26, explores the significance of the selection of Matthias as the twelfth apostle. It highlights two key truths: the identity of the church as the people of God and its mission as witnesses of Christ. The Twelve apostles symbolized the restoration of Israel, establishing the church on the foundation of Jesus’ ministry. The church remains grounded in the apostolic Word, faithfully proclaiming the gospel. As believers, our focus must always be on Christ, relying on the Holy Spirit to guide us in fulfilling our mission.
