Having ascended to heaven, our resurrected King has sent His Spirit, Who empowers us to be His witnesses until He comes again.

This sermon shows how passages like this can have an immediate fulfillment, but still have relevance for the church today and moving forward.

Jim Reske discusses insights found in Acts chapters 3 and 4.

Welcome to this episode, where we dive deep into the Book of Acts, chapters 1 through 4, exploring the foundational events that led to the birth of the church. The session began with a prayer for the presence of the Holy Spirit and centered on Jesus' ascension and His continuing work through the apostles.The first four chapters of Acts detail intense change. They cover Jesus' 40 days of teaching and His subsequent ascension, the descent of the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on Pentecost, Peter's sermons that led to the church growing from 120 people to 5,000, and the apostles' declaration of "civil disobedience" when arrested: "we cannot stop speaking of what we have seen and heard".The Critical Role of the Church and the AscensionAffirming belief in the "Holy Christian Church" is a core Christian belief. The sources argue that Christianity is not a solo sport; believers need an "organized relationship" and must be part of the church, which is the "body of Christ". This affirmation is needed "despite the Christians" and the reality of "church hurt.".The ascension of Jesus is described as "critical," acting as a "detonator on the bomb" that ignites the church. Jesus needed to ascend so that the Holy Spirit could be sent. This allowed the apostles to become Christ's body and reach the "entire world," rather than just the single region where Jesus ministered physically.The Temptation of Political PowerDespite receiving a "graduate-level seminar in Old Testament interpretation" during the 40 days after His resurrection, the disciples were still focused on political power. They asked Jesus, "Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom of Israel?". Their use of "restore" and "Israel" revealed they wanted the Davidic kingdom back and confined to Jerusalem, rather than pursuing the global, "multicultural, multi-ethnic" mission Jesus intended. Jesus responded by giving them the missionary mandate, explaining they would receive the Holy Spirit's power to be witnesses "to the remotest part of the earth". Their political ambitions were "way too small.".A controversial, minority viewpoint was presented, arguing that politics has no room in this type of Bible study. Christianity is fundamentally different from a movement that fights "bad people out there"; instead, Christianity asserts the problem is "in here" (sin) and requires repentance. Introducing politics can transform the church into a divisive affinity group, risking the alienation of those with opposing views. The church must maintain its identity to proclaim the kingdom of God and avoid the temptation of trading its mission for political influence. As one participant stated, many Christians are "more concerned about the kingdom of this world than the kingdom of God"

Today, we begin the age of the church, transitioning from the Gospel of Luke to the beginning of the book of Acts. Fr. Mike draws our attention to the Ascension of Jesus and encourages us to respond to Christ's call to participate in his mission. He invites us to be part of his story and not be ashamed of the Gospel. Today's readings are Acts 1, Romans 1, and Proverbs 26:24-26. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Daily Dose of Hope November 17, 2025   Scripture – Acts 1   Prayer: Holy God, Almighty Father, the Great I AM, Throughout all time, You are good.  Your ways are perfect.  Teach us your ways, Lord.  Help us to know you better, to know you more.  Lord, on our own, we are powerless.  We are desperate for your wisdom, love, and mercy.  More of you and less of me, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.   Today, we are starting the book of Acts, one of my favorite books of the Bible.  This is the second volume of the two-part work of Luke-Acts, written by Luke, a co-worker of Paul.  The original title of the book was The Acts of the Apostles.  Certainly, different apostles appear throughout the stories, but the only single character who unifies the book is Jesus, appearing in the beginning of the book in human form and then acting through the Holy Spirit throughout the book.    As we work our way through the text, it's going to be incredible to see how the Holy Spirit transforms, leads, directs, and shapes the new Christians and the young church.  Chapter 1 opens with Jesus ready to ascend into heaven.  Even though this is post-resurrection, the disciples still didn't understand everything.  We find them asking Jesus when he is going to restore the kingdom to Israel.  Their understanding of God's Kingdom is still a bit misguided, but Jesus redirects them.  He says only God knows the time and place for that.    But there is something even better ahead.  And Jesus tells them that the Holy Spirit is coming.  The Spirit of the living God is coming and when it does, they will receive a power like no other.  This is the same truth for us:  When God's Spirit comes upon us, we have the ability to  witness, to bear testimony, to all the things of Jesus.  It really isn't about us but about God's Spirit in us!   And then, Jesus ascends into heaven.  They don't quite get it yet, but now it's a waiting game.  The Holy Spirit is coming and they have no idea what they are in for.  Tomorrow, we get to talk about Pentecost and the birthday of the church.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss Jim's upcoming Bible study lesson on Acts chapters 1-4, with Jim sharing many of his insights and preparation methods, which include listening to sermons by Tim Keller and consulting church history materials. A central theme of their discussion revolves around the meaning of the Apostles' Creed, particularly the phrase "I believe in the holy Christian church," leading to a broader conversation about the nature of the church as "apostolic" and not merely a "movement" or "affinity group." A significant focus is placed on the Acts 1:8 passage, where Jesus's words about receiving power are interpreted as a response to the disciples' misplaced desire for political power instead of spiritual transformation through the Holy Spirit, which is highlighted as the true force behind the book of Acts.
