Rooted 2025
The Church in Acts
The dominant narrative shaping teenagers today is that they are totally free individuals who are responsible to craft their own identity and determine their future. The resulting pressure this creates is proving to be crushing. The book of Acts demonstrates an alternative to the burden of radical individualism with a great benefit of the gospel: the institution of the church, formed on the basis of Jesus’ death and resurrection and filled with his personal presence and power. Our prayer is that by looking back at the major themes of the early church, our modern churches will be encouraged to look forward with renewed boldness, perseverance, and confident optimism for the next generation.
