Acts 1:1-5

What does it look like when a king prepares his people for a mission that is bigger than anything they could accomplish on their own? That is exactly the question at the heart of Acts chapter one. As we open this remarkable book together, we are drawn into a moment of transition -- Jesus has risen, the disciples are gathered, and something world-changing is on the horizon. The central truth we encounter is this: the church's mission is not grounded in human creativity or personal ability, but in the finished work of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
