Ron and Nick begin a weekly study through the book of Acts looking for and listening to the work of the Holy Spirit.Notes:First account... began to do and to teachLuke has begun a research project that takes him from the birth of Jesus to the birth of the church. Along the way he ceases to be an observer/journalist and falls into the story. The “they did” will become “we did” (see Acts 16:10). Luke is meticulous. Of all the gospel writers he is the most detailed. He uses words precisely. When he says his first account was what Jesus began to do and teach we need to take note. Luke's first work is the gospel of Luke where Jesus is the lead character from start to finish, but in this second work, Jesus is going to make a brief appearance and strangely depart. How are we to understand the word “began”? Luke implies that Jesus is going to continue both doing and teaching. How?  The way this is written is supposed to make us lean in and look for the answer right at the outset. We are supposed to enter here looking over the shoulder of the Jesus Christ, the resurrection man; listening to a dead man teach about how to live now in light of his destruction of the laws of sin, death, and physics. He is going to continue doing things and teaching us things and we'd better pay attention. He is no longer the peasant prophet, he is now the ruler of life and death. We listen in to the conversation and find out that he is not planning on sticking around and that some other person is going to shape and guide the movement he has begun. It is the Holy Spirit. It is not an it but a He; a person. He is the Spirit of Christ. What does that mean?  It means we should look for and expect Him to act like Jesus; to do the kinds of things Jesus did and say the kind of things Jesus said. He is not unknown to us. The whole gospel of Luke tells us what to expect from Him. Now we wait to see how He will arrive on the scene and what the gospel of Acts will be. 

Our mission is to engage the whole person with the whole gospel of Jesus Christ anywhere, anytime, with anybody.To give to the ministry at The Church at Station Hill, click here: https://www.stationhillchurch.com/stewardship/.STAY CONNECTEDWebsite: https://www.stationhillchurch.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stationhillchurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stationhillchurch#church #sermon #bible #tennessee #nashville #love #thechurchatstationhill #jesus

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter One and Verse Four

THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD (Acts 1:9-11) Our message today is about the ascension of our Lord into Heaven.  Without a doubt, it is significant to our faith that Jesus is alive and working for us today.  Jesus did not just go off into heaven and leave us never to be heard from again.  He has provided us with a perfect, complete, salvation.  He is our great High Priest in the Holy Tabernacle in Heaven, He is our paraclete, our advocate, before the Father.  And He has promised to return for us.   Jesus is alive.  Jesus is working for us, and Jesus is coming back.  These are some of the things that distinguish our faith from all other religions.  These are the things that we base our hope on. You do not place your confidence in a mere man when you place your confidence in Jesus; you place your confidence in the God-man.  Because He is a man, He can sympathize with you and is able to meet your needs.  He is a royal priest.  He is a righteous priest.  He is a peace-promoting priest.  He is also a personal priest—He is for you personally.  He didn't inherit the office; that is, He didn't come in the line of Aaron.  He is an eternal priest.  If the work of Jesus Christ had ended with His death, burial and resurrection, then our salvation would be incomplete.  It is because Jesus is alive today and has ascended into heaven that He is our eternal and perfect High Priest.  It is because Jesus is living today and has ascended to heaven that our salvation was completed.  It is because Jesus is living today and has ascended to heaven that our salvation is being completed today.  It is because Jesus is living today and has ascended to heaven that our salvation will be completed in the future when the Lord gives us our glorified bodies.   We don't often hear messages preached on the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Rightfully so, the evangelistic message of the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord is talked about more frequently.  But the ascension of our Lord represents the hope and promise of the believer.  As a believer my Lord is alive, He is my advocate, and He is coming again for me.   This is the message we need to proclaim.  It is because we have the hope, the confident expectation, the promise, of the return of our Lord that we should feel the urgent need to proclaim the gospel message to a lost world.   Click on the play button to hear a message on what the Ascension of Jesus Christ means to you as a follower of Christ.

Believers are called upon to accomplish the Lord's work through His power.

It sure would have been easier if Jesus had stayed here on earth rather than leaving for heaven. So why did he leave? Listen and be encouraged. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2025

So, there was this moment when Jesus turned to His disciples and shared the heavy news about His fate on the cross. And guess who jumped in? Peter! He just couldn't stand the thought of it and declared that he wouldn't allow it to happen. Jesus understood that it was Satan's voice coming through Peter, so He turned around and rebuked him instead. Sometimes, the enemy might even try to use your loved ones to pull you off the path that God has laid out for you. So, how do you figure out what's truly from God and what might not be? Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to reach out for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Who is this Jesus who ascended on high? He is our High Priest, a high priest who sympathizes with us (having been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Whatever painful path you are on, Jesus has already been there. He is not only a High Priest who sympathizes with you, but also is one who can help you. And what kind of help does he offer? Mercy (forgiveness) and Grace to help in our time of need. Let us then with confidence draw near to Jesus, whether with our sin or our suffering. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 1, 2025.

Sometimes, your family might poke a little fun at your spiritual journey and your relationship with Jesus. No matter how much effort you put in, you might discover that guiding them back to Jesus feels like an uphill battle. So, does that mean they're stuck in their ways forever? In today's message, Pastor Mark shares a heartfelt reminder to embrace patience when it comes to God's plans. Even Jesus Himself had a tough time convincing His own brothers to believe. Eventually, they found their way back and rekindled their faith in Jesus. Just hang in there and trust that God is working in the hearts of your loved ones!

Acts 1:1-11 describes the culmination of the ministry of Christ in His Ascension.  We learn why it so critical for us to move from staring up to the sky to getting in the “wheelbarrow”.   If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

In Acts 1, we are reminded that Jesus came to begin God's saving work in the world, and one day he'll return to finish it. But, through the power of his Holy Spirit, His plan for how to continue this work in the meantime is to work through you.

Tuesday – Acts 1:9-149 After Jesus 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. 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.” 12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

When you dive into the Bible, you'll find characters like Moses and Peter who, at first, were pretty scared to talk about God. They worried that speaking up might cost them their lives. Yet, when God's Spirit moved within them, they found the bravery to raise their voices. Every now and then, you might feel that familiar twinge of fear when it comes to speaking on behalf of God. So, how do you get God to speak through you? Today, Pastor Mark invites you to open your heart to God. Handing over the steering wheel of your life to God means you can trust that He'll take you on a journey for His glory. Go ahead and let Him in!

Monday - Acts 1:3-83 After his suffering, Jesus 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: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] 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?”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.”

Rev. Daniel Mason, Acts 1:1-14

THAT OLD-TIME RELIGION (Acts 1:1-9) The book of Acts is a wonderful, wonderful, book, and we are going to be looking at this book for quite a while. As a matter of fact, I got to thinking about a title for this particular study and I came up with “That Old-Time Religion.” Now, the reason that I want to call it “That Old-Time Religion” is that we need to take a look back, so that we might really face the future. And it is very important that we do this today, because it is the Old-Time Religion that needs to be the New-Time Religion. The book of Acts tells a very impressive story of what happened in the first century when the church was created.  The book of Acts is the story of success. It is the story of a church triumphant. Really, it is the story of a small group of unlettered, uncultured people with meager resources, very little money, no prestige, no colleges, no seminaries, no radio or television, no internet, Google didn't exist, there were no printing presses, and no magnificent buildings in which to draw people in.  All they had was a small group of people who went out to tell the story of a publicly executed Jew.  They went out against great obstacles.  They faced the imperial might of Rome, the intellectual sophistication of Greece, the religious bigotry of that day, and they turned that world inside out, and upside down, for Jesus Christ. They did so much with so little.  Today, we do so little with so much.  Therefore, I believe we need to go back and see what they did, and how they did it. And for that reason, we are going to be studying the Book of Acts, which is the story of a church on fire with evangelism and growth, and I believe it can become our pattern for today. And I want God to burn the message into your heart. Click on the play button to hear a message on what Jesus can accomplish through you, if you let Him.  Do you want this year to be a great year? Then recognize His presence in you, receive His promise to you, and respond to His program through you. Our prayer, today, should be “Father, I pray, in the name of Jesus, that You would make me a greater soul winner. And Lord, help me to recognize that, in the truest sense, You are the one who draws those people to Yourself as You inhabit my humanity and display Your deity. In Jesus' name. Amen.” This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Kingdom Expansion Acts 1.1–11 JUNE 01 2025

The Ascension isn't the end of Jesus' ministry—it's the beginning of His reign. In this sermon, Pastor Mark unpacks Acts 1 and Psalm 110 to show how Christ's enthronement empowers the church's mission and anchors our hope. Jesus is not absent—He's reigning. The mission has begun.

Ascension Sunday, Year C

What makes someone choose to put their life on the line for another person? If you knew this person to be the truth and the path to eternal life, then it would make sense, don't you think? The disciples of Jesus truly understood this when they dedicated their lives to Him. They let go of everything they owned and devoted their lives to sharing the gospel, striving to rescue others from the snare of sin. Today, Pastor Mark encourages you to embrace the truth and let it guide you. When you welcome Jesus as your Savior, make sure to share that joy with others! Spread the good news to everyone you meet!
