Acts 1:12-26 - "Waiting For God"

Today’s passage describes a unique moment in history. It was the 10-day period of waiting on God to send His Spirit. It was a waiting room scene which would culminate in the birth of the Church. Even though we will never have to wait for the Spirit like those early disciples did, we can still learn a lot from their example. They show us what faith looks like as we “wait” for God to show up at different times and in different ways throughout our lives. And this is the big idea for today’s sermon: Living a life of faith means learning how to wait for God. Today’s passage shows us three things that we must do as we wait for God: stay, pray, and obey.
