Scripture Text: Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 3:16-21
Heading Toward Pentecost
The Unstoppable Church
Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 3:16-21
It has been said that the fundamental crisis of the first century church was how to deal with the departure of her leader.
Somebody said that these first verses of Acts are kind of like the time between lightning and thunder.
The Holy Spirit, Jesus said, would guide the church into all truth, would provide direction for the work that Jesus wanted done.
I have noticed that we Christians are some of the best excuse makers in the world when it comes to not witnessing.
We don’t experience the power of God in our lives because we are afraid of where He might lead us.
God is in charge of history. History is his story, and He determines the course of it.
The choice is yours and it is mine. Will we follow His direction? Will we accept His power? Will we live our lives motivated by hope?
