Far from being two separate stories, the sources reveal how they form a single, unified historical narrative written by Luke. We explore how Jesus's original mission to \"seek and save the lost\" did not end with His ascension, but was passed on to the early Church through the power of the Holy Spirit.\n\nTune in to discover how this unbroken thread of mission extends directly to you today. We discuss the importance of stepping out of the comfort of personal salvation and partnering with the Holy Spirit to actively participate in God's ongoing work. Whether it is reaching out to a neighbor, practicing hospitality, or surrendering a need for control, you will walk away with practical calls to action to embody Jesus's kingdom life in your everyday world."}
