August 10, 2025: Restoration - Hannah Thom


Listen Later

If Acts 1 holds the disciples’ question, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?,” as a longing for political or social power, Acts 2 answers not with domination but with Spirit-filled community, mutuality, and witness to the margins.

Willie James Jennings says "The Book of Acts...[is] ... A call to Christians to be open to the action of the Spirit, not only leading them to confront values and practices in society that may need to be subverted, but perhaps even leading them to subvert or question practices and values within the Church itself." (Bible for Normal People, Episode 188)

What if our deepest transformation comes not through conquest but through communion?
