Comfort and Purpose for a Scattered Church (Acts 8:1–8)

The arrival and spread of the coronavirus has largely rendered churches oxymoronic unassembled assemblies tantamount to an uncrowded crowds or ungrouped groups. At Oakridge, our  prayer and mission is to be a church that's like family. But how do we  become family from afar? How can we operate as a body when our members  are disconnected from one another?

Today we’re going to be reminded that the separation-causing hardship  we’re currently facing as a church family is not unprecedented. It’s  happened many times in history and, this morning, we're going  back to perhaps its first occurrence. As we see how the people of God  were scattered in Acts 8, we want to learn how to best navigate our days  ahead with faith, trust, and effectiveness.

Key Passage: Acts 8:1-8
