Liminal n. - relating to a transitional or initial stage of the a process. As we continue our series in the book of Acts - The Church that Jesus Builds from Acts 1:12-26, we come to a church that is liminal. As the early church awaits the promised Holy Spirit, what do we find the people doing while they wait? In this passage, we find the church engaged in five practices - practices that are just as applicable to Christ's church today.
The book of Acts is a unique New Testament book in that its main purpose is to record a selective history of the early church following the resurrection of Christ. It is the second part of a two-volume work, with the Gospel of Luke being the first volume. In this series, we look at Luke's account of The Church that Jesus Builds and how it applies to Christ's church that He is building today.
