Called. Equipped. Sent... Acts 1

Rooted in Acts 1, this message explores Jesus’ final words to His disciples and the foundation of the mission He entrusted to them. Rather than focusing on timelines or outcomes, Jesus calls His followers to wait for the Father’s promise—the baptism of the Holy Spirit—who would empower them for the work ahead. When questions about the kingdom arise, Jesus redirects their attention from when to who, commissioning them to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. As Jesus ascends to His rightful place, the early believers respond with unified, prayerful obedience, gathering together and preparing their hearts for what God would do next. This passage reminds us that followers of Christ are called by God, equipped by His Spirit, and sent to testify to the person, purpose, and power of Jesus—especially the truth of His resurrection—as we carry the gospel to the world.
