They had just experienced a whirlwind of mind bending activity. Arrest, trial, and death of their leader.  Resurrection. 40 days of learning from a man who was dead but is now alive and then some fantastic departure to heaven. And their response is to go back to Jerusalem, stay together and pray.  This has to be a result of their life with Jesus. This is not my instinct. When I am confused or instructed to wait I tend to isolate and pray by myself. Is community at the core of my life and my life in Jesus?  It seems like it should be if I've really spent time with him.

In her revival message, Destiny Deas challenged us to stop clinging to the "old impossible" and step into the "new impossible" God is doing. Drawing from Isaiah 43 and Acts 1–2, she emphasized that God's past miracles are not the pinnacle—He's always moving forward, inviting us to see, believe, and participate in the next move of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to become, the language to connect, and the perspective to perceive—equipping us to reach people, endure challenges, and invest in future generations. Her call was clear: don't get stuck in disappointment—lean in and receive what God is doing right now. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

Church Birthday G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 26 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days - from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Jesus has died, rose again from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father - all just as he said he would. The physical resurrection of Jesus Christ was the catalyst for the beginning of the church but the empowerment was to come, as promised by Jesus! Since his resurrection he has given his disciples instructions, including the command to go make disciples of all nations with the message he gave them! Then he told them to wait in Jerusalem! But for who? Remember they were still hopeful of Jesus returning to defeat the Roman Empire and install a political kingdom of God! But they were wrong and soon found out they were wrong! So they waited, but for what, or rather, who? Waiting! Acts1:12-14 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Acts 2:1-2 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place. Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. As we saw last time, Jesus has ascended back to the right hand of the Father. The 12 apostles are now back in Jerusalem and waiting for the Holy Spirit to come as promised by Jesus. More about Him later in this podcast! It was now the time of the Shavuot in the Jewish calendar - 50 days after Passover (remember that from Jesus' last night!) Pentecost derives itself from the Old Testament festival known as the Jewish Feast of Weeks or Shavuot. This feast consisted of the first-fruits of the wheat harvest and selected animals were sacrificed, all as an act of thanksgiving to God, according to the Law given to Moses (Leviticus 23:15-20). But it was soon to change its meaning under the New Covenant. It became Pentecost, the Greek word for ‘50 days', and marks the birthday of the church! What is the birthday of the church? That is the day when the Holy Spirit came down and empowered the disciples for service! The day now known as Pentecost celebrates the day when, as promised by Jesus, as part of the New Covenant (remember that), the Holy Spirit came down to live inside the disciples of Jesus Christ, and empower and transform them! Empowered! Take Peter for an example! Just a few days earlier he had rejected Jesus Christ and openly defied Him by trying to stop Jesus going to the cross. This Peter, who was dejected and defeated because he had put everything into following this Jesus. In the early chapters of the bible Book of Acts, we see all disciples being transformed. Some were affected in amazingly spectacular ways and others in more placid ways. Let us concentrate on Peter for a good example of this. This is now a new Peter, transformed by the indwelling Holy Spirit, who speaks with the authority Jesus gave the disciples. Peter, given impetus by the Holy Spirit, preaches a sermon and 3000 people are added to the church in one day (Acts 2v41). This Peter, who when passing by a man who couldn't walk, told him to get up and walk - and he did (Acts 3v1-11)! A WOW moment for sure! Peter was allowing himself to be controlled by the Holy Spirit and doing some of the things that were synonymous with Jesus' earthly ministry. Transformed! What is the difference between this Peter and the Peter before Jesus' resurrection? It was only the Holy Spirit, the empowerment and the difference He made to Peter. Peter, by submitting himself to the authority and power of the Holy Spirit, was allowing the Holy Spirit to control him and guide him. This Peter, who we know from the Gospel accounts, had no self-control, yet now had self-control because he submitted to the Holy Spirit. The greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit living inside of humans, is the transformation of the individual into the image of Jesus - as demonstrated by our example, Peter. This Peter who allowed the Holy Spirit's power to heal people also administered church discipline as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5v10). But it wasn't just Peter who was empowered. As Acts 5v12-16 shows us, all the followers of Jesus, not just the twelve apostles, filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit, were able to do healings and other miracles. Not just those more spectacular gifts of healing, miracles etc but also gifts such as mercy, generosity, helps and service. The Holy Spirit, living inside and empowering all believers, for service of Jesus Christ, not just the original 12 apostles or disciples. That is one of the reasons the early church grew phenomenally and more about that growth later on in this series! Who is the Holy Spirit? But who is the Holy Spirit? Good question! In the Old Testament the Spirit makes appearances but only comes on one person at a time during that time. David is a good example of that! There was to be a time when He would live inside all believers in God through the Messiah! That's under the terms of the New Covenant as This is part of the fulfilment of the New Covenant, where the Almighty and All-powerful God would indwell those who follow him. Throughout his ministry Jesus had often talked about how after he departed back to the Father, that the Holy Spirit would come. The Holy Spirit is spoken of as God (1 Corinthians 3v16). The attributes of God are ascribed to the Holy Spirit - life (Romans 8v2), truth (John 16v13) and love (Romans 15v30). The Holy Spirit is also a Person and is always referred to as ‘He' in the New Testament (John 16v14). He relates to humanity as a person for he lives inside the believer as comforter, guide and teacher (John 14). He can be blasphemed against and be grieved (Ephesians 4v30). Wherever the Holy Spirit is, the Father and Son are also present. (John 14v18-23). Throughout the Book of Acts and in the other New Testament writings we discover more about the Holy Spirit. We see His prime role to glorify Jesus Christ as the Son of God (John 16v13-14), to testify for Jesus Christ (John 15v26) and witness for Jesus Christ (Acts 1v8) to humans. The Holy Spirit is involved with ministering to members of the church, as Jesus would be if He were there physically. There is more about the Holy Spirit if you search on this website! With all this, the Holy Spirit also equipped all the followers of Jesus for service, to will and to act accordingly to those purposes. We see in the rest of the Book of Acts, how the Holy Spirit empowered the early church and gave them impetus. Transformation and service are the key working practises of the Holy Spirit and we will His handiwork in our next episode as we see the Church begin! The Pharisees and Sadducees are long gone. The Roman Empire collapsed. But... But... But... Jesus' church still stands, is still growing, and will one day be joined with Jesus in eternity, to the praise, honour and glory of Him who will return in majesty, just as He promised! More about that later on in this series! So that's the birthday of the church! What happened next is what we talk about tomorrow! Thank you! Tap or click here to download as a MP3 audio file

Jesus asked his disciples to wait. But their wait wasn't wasted time. Waiting changed their perspective as they began, by the Spirit and scripture, to better understand what God was doing around them. Waiting also allows us to make room for what God is doing in our lives. 

Isaac Schafer shares in our series, Acts. This week we look at Acts 1:1-11. Isaac transitions us from Exodus to Acts (as we begin to intertwine our study of the two books).

Launch Code for 7A daily zoomNotes:(vs 7)It Is Not For You to KnowThey ask a good question and Jesus doesn't rebuke them for asking it, he simply tells them it isn't their business to know. There are some things (many) that knowing will not do us any good and may harm us. The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. Accepting God at his word and waiting upon him is better than analyzing rationalizing and predicting what God is up to. It is enough to know that our God knows. Knowing God is always better than knowing information.(vs 8) IdentityThe Holy Spirit is power if a new and different kind than any power ever entrusted to men. It is a received power not an earned power or a built power.  He is the power and it cannot be separated from his presence.At This TimeJesus's teaching about the kingdom must have been like his other teaching: plain in some aspects and completely opaque in others.

The redemption of Christ is the period of time in Jesus' life when He was resurrected and then ascended to Heaven. Jesus' ascension establishes the reality of Christ's cession, intercession and mission. It marks the conclusion of His earthly ministry and the beginning of His exalted reign at the right hand of God the Father, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecy. From heaven, Jesus intercedes for His people as our High Priest, perfectly bridging the divide between a holy God and sinful humanity.

Acts begins at one of the most important moments in history. Jesus sent his disciples out to witness to the world. But before they could turn the world upside down, Jesus commanded them to wait. The work begins with waiting. We take a closer look at how this waiting shapes this story and our own lives.

Notes:Restore the kingdom This is a logical question. Jesus began his ministry with the appellation "repent for the kingdom of God is at hand" and here he is declaring his work as coming to an end. This must mean the kingdom is coming into being. With no other way of understanding a kingdom these people are expecting it to come as it always had - with power over the land and the political system. Established borders and law and order. They did not conceive of the kingdom Jesus inaugurated by completing his work and sending the Holy Spirit.Donna and Jamie Winship podcast

Acts 1:8–26 | Pastor Greg Just Wait? In this message from Acts 1:12–26, Pastor Greg unpacks the importance of waiting on God rather than moving ahead in our own strength. After Jesus' resurrection and before the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the disciples were given a simple command: wait. But as Pastor Greg highlights, Peter, ever impulsive, took matters into his own hands by leading the group to choose a twelfth apostle by casting lots. Through Peter's example, we see our own temptation to “help God out” instead of trusting His timing. The message contrasts the patience God calls us to with our tendency to act in haste and force outcomes. Pastor Greg explores the idea that true spiritual power and direction come not from our plans but through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. To trust that: God is good. He knows what He's doing. He is always right on time. - Greg Opean - Sunday, June 29, 2025

We've all heard the end-of-the-world talk—apocalyptic headlines, megaphone preachers, conspiracy-theory YouTubers. But what did Jesus actually say about the end of the world… and why hasn't He come back yet?In this kickoff to our Lock-In series, we take an honest look at what Jesus actually taught about His return. No conspiracy theories. No paranoia. No fear. Just Jesus' words and what they reveal about His heart for you.

Notes:Command (vs 4)Jesus gives a Jesus command. I'm not sure anyone else could have done this or would have done this. Wait here and don't move until the gift appears. How long? No answer. How will we know the gift is here? No answer. What should we do while we wait? No answer. What kind of power? No answer. Notice they don't actually ask any of these questions - at least not that we are told. But they do want to know about what the power will do for them. Will it displace the Romans?  Will we get our nation back? Will we get our lives back? In other words, we are willing to wait without questions if this is going to get us what we want out of it. Identity (vs 5)The HS identity is a gift just as Jesus was a gift.  It is important to see him this way.  Gifts are given not earned.  They must be accepted.  They must be unwrapped or taken into our lives.Wait in Jerusalem Jesus commands his followers to wait in the place of their greatest defeat and worst tragedy. It is also the location of immanent danger to anyone associated with his name. They know Jesus is alive. He tells them about the kingdom. How exciting must this be?  How incredible to see these things and sense you are on the verge of all your dreams come true?  And Jesus command is to wait. That's fine. But he isn't going to wait with them. And that is not so fine. Jesus is leaving and we are waiting a "few days."  What does that mean?  We know God's sense of time and ours are not at all similar (2 pet 3:8). Waiting an indefinite amount of time without the real presence of God in Jesus and without the internal presence of God in the Holy Spirt, in a dangerous place full of bad memories is a daunting task.  This is a great act of faith. Why would Jesus leave them in this position?  What's the point?
