Speaker : Rev. Daniel 
Acts 1 : 1-8                                                                 

Introduction:   
Let us start afresh! What do we mean?

A. The Work of Restoration 
v3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 
- Why would Jesus remain for 40 days after his resurrection?
- He was doing a work of restoration in many lives

B. The Waiting for Renewal  
v 4 -5   And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
- Waiting in the Bible always denote;  TIME  & TRUST
- It is a REALITY, not just a ritual
- It is in RELATION to Abraham’s promise

C. The Witnessing Power  
v8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
- It is not a program, it is POWER
- It is resurrection power, victorious living and transforming power, which we shall be witnesses of.
- 3 mandates/core values:
  1) Saving the Lost
  2) Nurturing the saved
  3) Growing in spiritual fellowship
- How many people die each day without the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel?

Conclusion  
Would you let Jesus?
- bring about restoration to your life
- bring about renewal to your faith
- bring about power to become His witnesses.
