Acts 1

Today I want you to turn to Acts 1. We're going to begin in verse 1. You know, we've been talking about this period of time of 40 days. The last two Wednesday nights we've been talking about the experience that Jesus had with his disciples after the resurrection.

On five different occasions Jesus gave them their job. He gave them their task that they were to do.

And so they had to be convinced that Jesus was alive from the dead. So Jesus spent that time. Now, Luke, who wrote the gospel of Luke also w ...
