Easter at Graceway

When Jesus rose from the grave, it wasn’t simply an inspiring story or a tradition we remember once a year. The resurrection interrupted history itself. If the tomb is truly empty, then death no longer has the final word, fear loses its grip, and the future opens in ways we never imagined.

Easter isn’t just another holiday on the calendar. It’s the moment everything changed.

    UNSTOPPABLE: The Scattered Church (Acts 8:1-40)

    Sunday March 22nd, 2026

    Acts 8 Overview

    The Upside Down Plan of God

    Fulfilling the Mission of the Church

    Luke has already described the apostles as bearing witness to Christ, announcing (katangellein, 4:2) their message, devoting themselves to the ministry of the word of God, and teaching the people.

    But now he introduces the verb kērysso (‘to herald’) in relation to Philip’s proclamation of Christ (5), and popularizes the verb euangelizō (‘to bring good news’). /p> Put it all together: 5 Greek words

    • εὐαγγέλιον → The (good news of Jesus)
    • εὐαγγελιστής → The (the evangelist)
    • εὐαγγελίζω / κηρύσσω → The (heralding truth / proclaiming it)
    • μαρτυρέω → The (bearing witness)
    A robust biblical model of evangelism is not just one-dimensional:
  • It is, but not only → must include (euangelizō)
  • It is, but not only → must include (martyreō)
  • It is, but not only → but a

    • Personal / Group Reflection

    Where might God be using the “scattering” in my life—disruptions, transitions, or hardships—as an opportunity for me to share the gospel or bear witness to Jesus?
    • (Acts 8:4 reminds us that what feels like disruption can actually be divine direction.)
    In what ways am I relying on others to do the work of evangelism instead of embracing my own calling to be a witness of what I have seen and heard in Christ?
    • (Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14–15 — the mission is both personal and shared.)
    Is my life marked by both proclamation and transformation—do my words about Jesus align with a life that visibly reflects His power and grace?
    • (John 4:29, 39 — a credible witness flows from a changed life.)
