Protecting the Witness (Remastered)

About this episode

Tim Mackie explores the theme of witness in the New Testament and its implications for modern Christianity.

New Testament Themes E3 — In the New Testament, “witness” is what Jesus' followers do together as they live, committed to one another and to Jesus. How is this understanding of witness different from how it’s viewed in modern Christianity? And how can we protect this kind of communal witness? In this third message in a six-part series, Tim traces the theme of witness in the book of Acts, concluding in Paul’s farewell speech in chapter 20. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on October 28, 2012.
