Acts 1:1-11

This sermon examines the ascension of Jesus Christ from the Mount of Olives and the disciples' response to His departure. Pastor Bruce Gordon emphasizes that while the disciples stood immobilized, gazing into heaven after Jesus ascended, God sent angels to redirect them toward their mission. The message challenges believers not to become paralyzed by circumstances or consumed with end-times speculation, but instead to actively pursue the work God has called them to do. The sermon stresses that God equips those He calls, providing power through the Holy Spirit to accomplish His purposes. The central theme is moving from passive observation to active obedience—doing what God commands one step at a time rather than standing idle while waiting for Christ's return.
