Hurry Up and Wait
September 7, 2008 -
Pastor Jim Pocock today begins a new series of messages entitled “To the Ends of the Earth.” This series, from the New Testament book of Acts, has to do with Evangelism and our mandate to take the Christian gospel across the various boundaries in our culture so that everyone comes in contact with Jesus Christ. -
Acts 1:1-5 -
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” -
