Have you ever found yourself in a season of waiting, wondering if God has forgotten about you? This week, we're diving into Acts 1 with a message titled "What To Do While We Wait," and it's more practical than you might think! We're exploring the early church's example – a group of believers who'd just witnessed Jesus ascend to heaven and were then told to "wait in Jerusalem" for the promised Holy Spirit. What does that tell us about how we should handle our own waiting seasons?
We examine what "waiting well" truly means, and how it involves five key principles – being obedient, staying unified, praying constantly, studying Scripture, and investing in leadership. But here's the amazing part... waiting isn't just passive downtime; it's active preparation for the powerful move of God that's coming!
This message will challenge you to understand and, most importantly, transform your perspective on waiting in your everyday life. Isaiah reminds us that "those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength" – it's not just about passing time but about positioning ourselves for God's power. Because, let's be honest, waiting with purpose can build character, deepen faith, and prepare us for greater impact than we ever imagined. It's revolutionary!
Are you ready to stop viewing waiting as a punishment and start seeing it as purposeful preparation? Listen now and discover how to wait well and experience the life-changing fire of God's presence!
