Acts 1:1-14 The Imperial Ambitions of Christ

The Book of Acts tells the story of how the mission of Christ was fulfilled throughout the known world. It speaks of missionaries (Apostles), and preachers, and martyrs, and the establishment of the church. It is a incredible story.

In these first 14 verses of the first chapter we see Jesus reveal to His disciples what they need to do in order to participate in the establishment and movement of the Kingdom of God. They thought He was going to restore Israel, redeem them from the hard hand of the Romans. But no, Jesus had bigger ambitions than that. 

Jesus wanted to take over the whole world. And in order to get that done, he only needed 12 men and some "dynamite" (dunamis - power of the Holy Spirit). Join us in this talk as we look at the birth of a Kingdom that penetrated the world and of which we have become a part of.
