Text:Acts 1:1-11
Sermon Title: Supernatural Power for a Supernatural Mission
Date:9-24-2023
Loving Jesus
- Given that Spirit empowers mission, how aware have you been for your need for His power in your life as of late? How does this compare to your consciousness of the availability of His power for you?
Loving His People
- Craig argued from this text that, “Jesus is actively present…Acts shows the continuing ministry of the Lord Jesus throughhis people and the conclusion is open ended. He is still doing and teaching. Jesus is teaching us through the Scripture and he is doing his will acting by his Spirit throughhis people.” What does this mean about our relationships and group/church meetings?
- Does this reality more reinforce or more correct the way you have been relating to our group/church? Explain.
Loving His World
- Given that this text proclaims that “mission means movement”, and that “the Spirit empowers witness to people who are very different,” why do you think Acts is a good book to learn to love cross-culturally from? What excites you about studying the book? What concerns you?
