  1. The Mission

  2. Acts 1:1-2 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

  3. Acts 1:3-11 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command:

  4. Acts 1:3-11 “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

  5. Acts 1:3-11 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

  6. Acts 1:3-11 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

  7. Acts 1:3-11 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

  8. The Reason for the Mission

  9. Acts 1:1-2 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

  10. Acts 1:3 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

  11. Acts 1:9 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

  12. Acts 1:10-11 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

  13. The Resource

  14. Acts 1:4-5 "On one occasion, while He was eating with them, He gave them this command: ‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’"

  15. Acts 4:7 "By what power or what name did you do this?"

  16. Acts 4:8-12 "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: `Rulers & elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple & are asked how he was healed, then know this, you & everyone else in Israel: 

  17. Acts 4:8-12 "`It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you completely healed. He is "the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.”

  18. Acts 4:8-12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.’"

  19. Acts 4:13 "When they saw the courage of Peter & John and realized they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished & they took note that these men had been with Jesus."

  20. The Responsibility

  21. Acts 1:7-8 "He said to them, `It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you; & you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, & in all Judea & Samaria, & to the ends of the earth.’"
