You Will Be My Witnesses

Dave Riddle – 9/09/2018

Key passage: Acts 1:8 (HCSB): …you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

A comprehensive calling

  • Jerusalem
    • It starts right where you are.
    • Judea
      • Extends to the areas around you.
      • Samaria
        • To people that aren’t like you.
        • To the ends of the Earth.

          • “Witness”

          • martys (Greek: μάρτυς) – a witness, those who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death

            • Acts 1:4–7 (HCSB): While He was together  with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father’s promise. “This,” He said, “is what you heard from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

            So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by His own authority.

            The Holy Spirit

            • Acts 1:8
              • Empowered witnesses
              • In Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria…
