In this sermon, Pastor David Watson delves into Acts 1:12-26, exploring the rhythms that propelled the early church forward between Jesus' ascension and Pentecost. He identifies four crucial rhythms:
1. Leaders are bold: Peter stood up among the 120 believers, demonstrating confidence rooted in Scripture.
2. Prayer is central: The disciples were "continually united in prayer" (Acts 1:14), making it a driving force rather than a last resort.
3. Training is intentional: The disciples sought a replacement for Judas who had been with Jesus from the beginning, emphasizing the importance of discipleship.
4. Sending is natural: The church was designed to be sent out, living a "missionari" lifestyle to build upon the apostles' foundation.
Pastor Watson encourages the congregation to examine their own lives, asking if there are rhythms that aren't Kingdom rhythms. He concludes by referencing Romans 12:1, urging believers to present themselves as living sacrifices and commit or recommit their lives to Jesus.
