EMPOWERED TO SERVE AND WITNESS ACTS 1:8 JAMES 2:14-17
ACTS 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
The Father calls ALL Christians to serve and witness to a lost and dying world in four areas.
AN ACTS 1:8 CHRISTIAN IS ONE WHO ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE TO TAKE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST TO THEIR NEIGHBORS AND TO THE WORLD.
The Four Areas • We are to serve and witness in our Jerusalem. • We are to serve and witness in our Judea. • We are to serve and witness in our Samaria. • We are to serve and witness to the utter most parts of the world.

JAMES 2:14-17 14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead , being by itself.
PERSONAL QUESTION? Does my faith inspire me to serve others and be a witness for Jesus?
