Jesus in the Waiting Pt. 6 - But, God - 5/16/2021

Pastor David Morrison Acts 1:15-26 Read Acts 1:15-26 A Christian call is our belief that God has a purpose for us, that He will reveal as we follow Him. God has a purpose for your life. "If God calls you to be a minister, don't stoop to becoming a king." -Spurgeon We find the call to follow Jesus develops not just from following Jesus but to teach others to follow him, too. A few insights about the early church that this passage reveals: 1- Peter Assumes Position Of Authority In Early Church (v.15) 2- Men And Woman Hold Positions Of Authority In The Early Church (v.14) 3- Jesus Had Them Wait In A Dangerous Place (v.4) 4- Scripture Guided Their Decisions (v.20) 5- They Called A New Apostle Out Of The Group (v.23) 6- Prior To The Holy Spirit They Prayed And Cast Lots (v. 24-26) God often chooses people who don't feel like they are up to the task. He calls you out of your comfort zone.
