Who’s happy now?
In the 40 days that followed the resurrection, Jesus laid the foundations of the church by instructing His disciples, giving particular emphasis to the Kingdom of God (Acts 1: 3). At the end of this period Jesus was taken up to heaven, leaving His disciples alone once again, with the promise that He would return in the same way as He had left the earth. The disciples now waited for God’s gift of power. For the disciples, perhaps like us as we are keen to see God at work, the wait must have felt as if would never end. But end it did with a unique outpouring of God’s power which opened the door to the formation of the community that we today call the church. We’re beginning a new series of Sunday messages and Home Group Studies. Sometimes referred to as the “Gospel of the Holy Spirit,” Acts is a powerful and power filled account of the growth, challenges and break out of the church. Following Christ would no longer be seen as some obscure Jewish Sect – it was a community which would change the world.
