“Waiting for the Promise”, Acts 1:1-5, Pastor Jim Davis

Notes:
He marched toward Calvary.
The cross.
He rose from the dead.
The Day of Pentecost.

Waiting. Patience... now!


Do you care what you’re waiting for? The Kingdom.

The disciples knew He resurrected. Jesus came to them.
They weren’t looking for Him.

Unfulfilled expectations cause loneliness, sorrow, regret.
Take broken hearts and be energized to go save the world, set up your kingdom.

Jim Rhome : the walls keep sadness but also keep out joy.

Bury your disappointments with God.
We could get Him to do it our way. If you do that, you will never live for the fulfillment God has for you.

The joy that comes from successful living for God.

Hebrews 12:2: Looking into Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
He endured the cross.
Beyond.

We live for God for the joy beyond the stress, beyond the trials.

Your call is to spread the gospel.

Acts 1:
You shall receive power from the Holy Ghost. Witnesses for Christ (the call).

We are the chosen of God.

Jesus went to Calvary just for you.
Song lyrics note “when I was on the cross, I was on His mind”

It wasn’t random.

He showed himself alive.
Many infallible proofs.
If you want to know if He exists, He will show himself to you.

Jesus was assembled together with them.

Spending time with Jesus, alone. Listen to Him talk.

The benefit of the doubt, people are telling the truth.

Acts 2:39
God has promised you the power within a spiritual realm to fulfill the call on your life, even if there’s disappointment or you haven’t lived up to what He wanted you to do.

Don’t miss out... ...
