On Your Marks, Get Set, Wait!Acts 1:1-8Pastor Jim ThomasJanuary 18, 2026Before the church moved forward, Jesus told them to stop. Before the mission began, He commanded them to wait.The book of Acts opens not with strategy, speed, or self-confidence—but with a risen Lord who insists that His people do nothing until they are clothed with power from on high.Join Pastor Jim for an introduction to the book of the Acts of the Apostles and the opening eight verses as he explores why waiting does not have to be wasted time; why the Spirit—not human effort—is the engine of the mission, and how God still moves His people onto mission with the presence and in the power of the Holy Spirit.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Title: The Son of God Ascends Preacher: Mark Dever Series: The Church Begins Passage: Acts 1:1-26

This is a discussion of the disciples returning from the Mount of Olives and beginning to choose a replacement for Judas.

Why do followers of Jesus talk about Him everywhere they go?In this sermon from Acts 1:1–11, Pastor Clayton teaches that witnessing isn't reserved for professionals or pastors—it's what every believer was created and re-created to do. From Genesis to the birth of the Church, God's plan has always been to fill the earth with His image and His story.Jesus tells His disciples they won't receive a timeline or a kingdom—but they will receive power. Through the Holy Spirit, ordinary people are empowered to witness to an extraordinary truth: Jesus is alive, and His resurrection changes everything. This message challenges us to shift from focusing on what faith gives us to living as Spirit-empowered witnesses who carry the gospel to our everyday world.Scriptures Referenced:Acts 1:1–11Acts 2:1–4Genesis 1:27–28Genesis 9:1Genesis 12:1–3Keywords:Acts 1 sermon, Holy Spirit power, Christian witness, baptism of the Holy Spirit, Book of Acts explained, evangelism, sharing your faith, resurrection of Jesus, Spirit-filled life, mission of the churchYou were created in God's image—and re-created in Christ—to be a witness. The question is no longer if you will talk about something, but what you are witnessing to, and who you are trusting to empower you.Subscribe for more sermons and biblical teachingShare this message with someone who needs courage to live out their faith

Pastor Nate Walker

Kingsway Community Church

For thousands of years Christians have gathered around the world once a week to remember and celebrate Jesus together. However, is what we call “church” what it was intended to be?This movement that we have been swept up in began with a handful of people who were not terribly sure of what they were doing. In fact, they were mostly unsure and confused in their nature.But by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit empowered them to establish and lead a revolutionary vision creating witnesses of the love and grace of Jesus that has continued even to this day. We are here today because of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES through the Holy Spirit just weeks after Jesus was crucified and resurrected.This study of the book of Acts should bring us back to purpose of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit.---As the apostles and first followers of Jesus wait for the Spirit, they take on the task of replacing Judas. In confusion and anxiety, they resort to doing what they know to do.

Pastor Brian Goke preaching

After a long journey, we have finally closed the last chapter of Acts in our years-long study. Thank you for searching God's word with us as we see the start of His beautiful Church. Let us continue to ponder how we continue to live out the calling of God's followers as they did in the days of Acts.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main idea: When the Spirit comes into your life, as His witnesses you must go into the world.

For thousands of years Christians have gathered around the world once a week to remember and celebrate Jesus together. However, is what we call “church” what it was intended to be?This movement that we have been swept up in began with a handful of people who were not terribly sure of what they were doing.

We are here today because of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES through the Holy Spirit just weeks after Jesus was crucified and resurrected.This study of the book of Acts should bring us back to purpose of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit.---In Acts 1:1-11, the stage is set for the rest of the book and the plan is established for the work of the Holy Spirit through the apostles. But what is interesting is that the only command given by Jesus is to "wait". With the promise of power coming in the future, the way to get there was through patient, persevering waiting. And the same is true for us today.

In Sunday's message from Acts 1, TA reminded us that the Christian life and mission are never meant to be lived in our own strength. Before sending the disciples out as witnesses, Jesus told them to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Acts 1 shows us that waiting is not passive; it is purposeful preparation for God's power.

12.28.2025 - God Incarnate - Ascended into Heaven--Bodily - Acts 1:9-11 by Anacostia River Church

Jesus never expected you to do it alone, to somehow find the strength within yourself to obey his call on your life. He never intended you to share his love and grace or make disciples without the promised Spirit. Acts chapters 1 and 2 is the story of the early church receiving the empowerment Jesus promised - an empowerment that has been on repeat ever since.
