The fourth episode in The Conflict saga, The Mission is an adaptation of Ellen G. White's classic, The Acts of the Apostles. It includes all the stories and major applications from the original book, offering insight into the conflict raging behind the Bible narrative. Using contemporary language with young adults in mind, each episode features original new artwork that perfectly captures the major theme of each chapter, adding a wonderful visual dimension to each book.
4TC 5.2
The Mission continues the epic war between Christ and Satanand their respective legions of angels. Jesus' decisive victory over Satan was sealed on Calvary's cross, and confirmed by His resurrection. Before ascending to heaven, Jesus charged His eleven remaining disciples with the task of establishing His church. This seemingly unlikely group included a brash fisherman who denied Jesus under pressure, two hot- headed brothers known as the “sons of thunder,” a tax collector who profited at the expense of his own people, a Zealot who was militantly opposed to the Romans, and a perpetually skeptical man who often doubted Jesus. These were the chosen agents for “The Mission.”
4TC 5.3
Take an exciting journey with Jesus' dedicated apostles as they undertake the work He left for them to accomplish. Observe their filling with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and listen to them preach the good news of salvation, empowered to reach the known world. Witness Satan's constant attempts to undermine their efforts as the disciples' transformational ministry won many to Christ, even as they faced fierce persecution. Grasp the importance of the church being united in sharing the good news of salvation, emphasizing lessons of faith, with unwavering loyalty to Jesus Christ, and perseverance in claiming His promised gift of salvation. See apostles like Peter, Paul, James, John, and others spread the Gospel throughout the world, joyfully sacrificing their lives rather than their faith in Jesus, claiming His promise of eternal life.
4TC 6.1
Today, Christians continue the apostles' mission story, sharing the same promise of divine transformational power and guidance. Do you feel ill equipped to serve God or weighed down by life's baggage? Be encouraged! God specializes in cleaning up messy lives. Dedicate your life to serving Him, and learn how He can make you an agent for “The Mission!” We pray you will both enjoy and learn from this immersive new experience as you read these five life-changing episodes from The Conflict.
