At the start of Acts, we find the church at a critical point in its history. Jesus had been with the disciples, teaching them God’s truth and preparing them for their ministry. Now He had to leave them so that the next part of the plan for God’s kingdom could happen: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Alistair Begg leads us through a study that captures the fear and excitement of experiencing God’s outworking plan.
6So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, jwill you at this time krestore the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, l“It is not for you to know mtimes or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8But you will receive npower owhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and pyou will be qmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and rSamaria, and sto the end of the earth.”
