Acts 1:1-11
Today if you have your Bible I would like to invite your attention to the Acts 1:1-11. I want to speak today on the subject "Five Things That Jesus Left The Church." Now as a born again believer I think you are interested in what Jesus left for you and what Jesus left for me.

And when He had died the death on the cross and risen from the dead, securing for us not only eternal life, but life more abundantly, then Jesus went away. But when He went away there are five wonderful things that He left the church that we need to look at once again.

Because I believe that God is looking for a people, God is looking for a group of believers, God is looking for a master's minority on this earth who wi ...
