교회는 존재 자체가 선교다 (The Church is Mission)
Page 1: Introduction – Acts as the Mission of God (Missio Dei)
The Book of Acts is not primarily about the church—it is about the mission of God (Missio Dei).
God is the one who initiates, sustains, and fulfills mission. The church is not the sender; the church is the sent.
Acts 1:8
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.”
This verse reveals:
- The source of mission → Holy Spirit
- The identity of believers → Witnesses
- The scope of mission → To the ends of the earth
Key Insight:
Mission is not a program of the church; it is the very nature of the church.
Page 2: Pentecost – Empowered for Mission (Acts 2)
Pentecost was not just a spiritual experience—it was a mission event.
Acts 2:4
“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues…”
The miracle of languages shows:
- The gospel is for all nations
- Mission begins cross-culturally
- God removes communication barriers
Acts 2:11
“We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
Key Insight:
The Holy Spirit empowers the church specifically for global mission.
Page 3: The Church as a Missional Community (Acts 2:42–47)
The early church was not inward-focused—it was a missional community.
Acts 2:47
“And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Their lifestyle was their witness:
- Shared life → visible gospel
- Radical generosity → credible faith
- Worship and prayer → spiritual power
Key Insight:
Mission is not just proclamation—it is a way of life that attracts people to God.
Page 4: Public Witness – Mission in the Marketplace (Acts 3–5)
Mission moves into public spaces.
Peter heals a lame man:
Acts 3:6
“In the name of Jesus Christ… walk.”
This leads to public proclamation:
Acts 4:12
“Salvation is found in no one else…”
Despite opposition:
Acts 4:20
“We cannot help speaking…”
Key Insight:
Mission is public, bold, and centered on the name of Jesus.
Page 5: Persecution as Mission Strategy (Acts 6–8)
Persecution becomes a turning point in mission.
Acts 8:1
“The church… was scattered…”
Acts 8:4
“Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.”
Mission shifts from:
- Centralized → Decentralized
- Apostles → Ordinary believers
Key Insight:
God uses crisis to mobilize His people for mission.
Page 6: Conversion of Saul – Mission Requires Transformation (Acts 9)
Saul’s conversion shows that mission begins with transformed lives.
Acts 9:15
“He is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles…”
Mission requires:
- Personal encounter with Christ
- Radical reorientation of life
- Obedience to God’s calling
Key Insight:
God does not just use people—He transforms them for mission.
Page 7: Crossing Boundaries – Mission to the Nations (Acts 10–12)
Peter and Cornelius represent a breakthrough in mission.
Acts 10:34–35
“God does not show favoritism…”
Acts 10:44
“The Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.”
Barriers broken:
- Ethnic
- Religious
- Cultural
Key Insight:
Mission requires crossing uncomfortable boundaries.
Page 8: Antioch – The Sending Church (Acts 13–15)
Antioch becomes the first intentional mission-sending church.
Acts 13:2–3
“Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul…”
Key missional elements:
- Worship leads to mission
- The Holy Spirit directs sending
- The best leaders are sent out
Key Insight:
A healthy church is not measured by seating capacity, but by sending capacity.
Page 9: Paul’s Mission – Contextual and Costly (Acts 16–28)
Paul adapts to different cultural contexts:
Acts 17:22–23 (Athens)
“I see that in every way you are very religious…”
Mission involves:
- Cultural understanding
- Strategic engagement
- Persistent endurance
Despite suffering:
Acts 20:24
“I consider my life worth nothing… if only I may finish the race…”
Key Insight:
Mission is both contextual and costly.
Page 10: Conclusion – The Church as God’s Mission Today
Acts ends without a conclusion—because the mission continues.
Acts 28:31
“He proclaimed the kingdom of God… without hindrance.”
The modern church must recover its identity:
1. Sent Identity
We are not consumers—we are missionaries.
2. Spirit Dependence
Mission flows from the Holy Spirit.
3. Everyday Witness
Mission happens in daily life.
4. Global Vision
The gospel is for all people.
Final Challenge
The question is not:
“Does the church have a mission?”
The real question is:
“Is the church participating in God’s mission?”
---------------------------------
下面是将上述“宣教视角（Missional Perspective）
”版本完整翻译成中文（10页讲义版，含经文），适用于课堂教学或讲道使用：
第1页：引言——使徒行传中的“神的宣教”（Missio Dei）
《使徒行传》不仅是教会的历史，更是**神的宣教（Missio Dei）**的展开。
宣教的主角是神自己——祂发起、推动并完成祂的工作。教会不是宣教的主人，而是被差遣的群体。
使徒行传 1:8
“但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。”
这节经文揭示：
- 宣教的源头 → 圣灵
- 信徒的身份 → 见证人
- 宣教的范围 → 直到地极
核心洞见：
宣教不是教会的一个事工，而是教会的本质。
第2页：五旬节——为宣教而得能力（使徒行传 2章）
五旬节不仅是属灵经历，更是一个宣教事件。
使徒行传 2:4
“他们就都被圣灵充满，按着圣灵所赐的口才，说起别国的话来。”
语言的神迹表明：
- 福音是为万民预备的
- 宣教从一开始就是跨文化的
- 神亲自除去沟通的障碍
使徒行传 2:11
“我们都听见他们用我们的乡谈，讲说神的大作为。”
核心洞见：
圣灵的降临，是为了装备教会进入普世宣教。
第3页：教会作为宣教共同体（使徒行传 2:42–47）
初代教会本质上是一个宣教型共同体。
使徒行传 2:47
“主将得救的人天天加给他们。”
他们的生活本身就是见证：
- 彼此相交 → 可见的福音
- 慷慨分享 → 真实的信仰
- 敬拜祷告 → 属灵的能力
核心洞见：
宣教不仅是“说”，更是“活出来”。
第4页：公共见证——走向世界的宣教（使徒行传 3–5章）
宣教进入公共领域。
彼得医治瘸子：
使徒行传 3:6
“我奉拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名，叫你起来行走！”
并带来公开宣讲：
使徒行传 4:12
“除他以外，别无拯救…”
面对逼迫仍然坚定：
使徒行传 4:20
“我们所看见所听见的，不能不说。”
核心洞见：
宣教必须是公开的、勇敢的，并以基督为中心。
第5页：逼迫成为宣教策略（使徒行传 6–8章）
逼迫反而推动宣教的发展。
使徒行传 8:1
“教会大遭逼迫…都分散了。”
使徒行传 8:4
“那些分散的人往各处去传道。”
宣教模式转变：
核心洞见：
神使用苦难来推动祂的宣教。
第6页：扫罗的归信——宣教从生命改变开始（使徒行传 9章）
扫罗的改变显示宣教的根本是生命的转变。
使徒行传 9:15
“他是我所拣选的器皿，要在外邦人面前宣扬我的名。”
宣教需要：
核心洞见：
神先改变人，再使用人完成祂的宣教。
第7页：跨越界限——向万民的宣教（使徒行传 10–12章）
彼得与哥尼流的故事是宣教的突破。
使徒行传 10:34–35
“神是不偏待人…”
使徒行传 10:44
“圣灵降在一切听道的人身上。”
打破的界限：
核心洞见：
宣教意味着走出舒适区，跨越界限。
第8页：安提阿教会——差遣的教会（使徒行传 13–15章）
安提阿教会是宣教型教会的典范。
使徒行传 13:2–3
“要为我分派巴拿巴和扫罗…”
宣教特征：
核心洞见：
健康的教会，不是“坐满人”，而是“差遣人”。
第9页：保罗的宣教——处境化与代价（使徒行传 16–28章）
保罗在不同文化中传福音：
使徒行传 17:22–23（雅典）
“我看你们凡事很敬畏鬼神…”
宣教包括：
使徒行传 20:24
“我却不以性命为念…”
核心洞见：
宣教既需要智慧，也需要代价。
第10页：结论——今天的教会与神的宣教
使徒行传没有真正结束，因为宣教仍在继续。
使徒行传 28:31
“放胆传讲神国的道…”
今天教会需要恢复：
1. 被差遣的身份
我们不是消费者，而是宣教士。
2. 对圣灵的依靠
宣教源于圣灵。
3. 日常生活的见证
宣教发生在每天的生活中。
4. 普世的眼光
福音是给万民的。
最后挑战
问题不是：
“教会有没有宣教？”
而是：
“教会是否正在参与神的宣教？”
如果你需要，我可以帮你进一步做成：

- 讲道逐字稿版本
- 更学术的宣教学（Missiology）扩展版
