In this sermon, Pastor David Watson delves into Acts 1 to uncover God's blueprint for the church. He emphasizes three key promises in the design: Jesus will build His church, use believers as witnesses, and provide the power of the Holy Spirit. The pastor draws parallels between constructing a house and building the church, stating, "If we don't understand the design, we won't understand the work."
Watson highlights Jesus' words in Matthew 16, where He declares, "On this rock I will build my church" (Matt. 16:18). The sermon emphasizes that the church is designed to be a "battleship, not a cruise ship," pushing back darkness and expanding God's kingdom. The pastor reminds listeners that as believers, being witnesses is not just something we do, but who we are. He concludes by challenging the congregation to respond to the message of Jesus and live on mission, regardless of personality type or past experiences.
