Waiting For The Promise #1

The Resurrection was POWERFUL. But it didn't EMPOWER the disciples to carry out the mission Christ gave them (Check out Matthew 28:18-20). Instead of sending the disciples immediately into their neighborhoods (& beyond) to carry the message, Jesus told them to go back into Jerusalem to WAIT for the promise: God's Holy Spirit would come & provide them with all of the fuel necessary to be able to not only live for Christ, but to live as witnesses of all they had seen, sharing the message of the gospel with power, conviction, & supernatural insight. Our text for the day is Acts 1:1-11.
