    Waiting For Jesus

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 1, 2023
     | 1,042 views

    Don’t wait for angels while waiting for Jesus to return. Be ready for Jesus by being someone’s angel.

    A couple of decades ago there was a really popular television show called Touched by an Angel. How many of you used to watch it? It was pretty good, wasn’t it? It was optimistic and uplifting without being overly sugary or sentimental. So think back. Wouldn’t it be great if, just when you most ...read more

    They did so much with so little, but today, we do so little with so much!

    Evangelistic Power Acts 1:1-11 After the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the disciples returned to Galilee as commanded by both the Lord and the angels.

    A sermon for Ascension of the Lord Sunday.

    “Can I Get a Witness?” Acts 1:1-11 The two men dressed in white asked a strange question: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky?” Think about it, if you saw Jesus rising into the clouds, wouldn’t you look up?

    Jesus is preparing to ascend back into Heaven to sit down at the right hand of God. But before He leaves, He commands and commissions His men to reach the world with the Gospel, the Good News that Jesus saves. He tells them to wait for the Promise of the Father, which is the Holy Ghost!

    Acts 1:1-8 While We Wait April 24, 2022 Luke inscribes in his gospel account and also in his historical account of the Acts of the Apostles to the dignitary Theophilus our Lord’s last meeting with His disciples while He was here on earth. He is preparing to ascend back into Heaven ...read more

    After the resurrection day appearances of Jesus, He made many other important appearances during the next 40 days until He returned to heaven. Those important appearances included He gave the great commission, recommissioned Peter, and ascended before their eyes. He is coming again!

    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus. If I bet money, I’d lay odds that anyone age 65 or older in 2022 can at least give a general outline of the life of Christ, even if he or she didn’t think ...read more

    No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

    The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

    We gain a lot by studying the book of Acts. We learn about how the church grew in its infancy stage. Now over twenty percent of the world’s population claim to be true disciples of Jesus. But we are starting here with one hundred and twenty loyal believers huddled together in one room. It helps us ...read more
