What Happens When a Church Stops Going? | Pastor Steve DeWitt | Bethel Church

It's sobering to stand inside a cathedral where someone once passionately preached the gospel, now converted into an art gallery. That's what Pastor Steve DeWitt saw across Europe: ornate buildings full of history and empty of Christians. What happened? And more urgently, what would need to happen for the same thing to be true of us? In this closing message from the Acts series, Pastor Steve draws out the enduring themes that keep a church alive and outward-focused. There's a difference between churches that go and churches that turn inward until they quietly stop. The gospel hasn't changed. The question is whether we're still carrying it. This is Acts 29. Luke's account ends at chapter 28, but the story is still being written. Every generation either picks up the pen or lets the chapter close on their watch. 📖 Scripture: Acts 1:8, Acts 2, Acts 13, Acts 16 🎤 Speaker: Pastor Steve DeWitt 📚 Series: Acts 📍 Campus: Bethel Church, Crown Point, Indiana 💸 Give: https://bethelweb.org/give 🤝 Connect: https://bethelweb.org/connect 🌐 Website: https://bethelweb.org 📸 Instagram:   / bethelnwi   👍 Facebook:   / bethelnwi   ▶️ YouTube:    / @bethelchurchministries   Bethel Church is a multisite church in Northwest Indiana, with campuses in Crown Point, Cedar Lake, and Hobart. #BethelNWI #BethelChurch #NorthwestIndiana #CrownPointIndiana #Acts #ActsSeriesFinale #GospelWitness #ChurchMission #AlmostChristian #TheJesusRevolution #SundaySermon #ChristianSermons #PastorSteveDeWitt #GoWithTheGospel #ChurchHistory
