ACTSion--A Call to Serve

Tonight we talked about Acts 1:1-11.
Jesus prepared the disciples b/c he was going back to heaven.
The question is do we spend any time with Jesus so we can be prepared.
Jesus proved that He was real and had risen.
The disciples still had questions about when Jesus would come back and how.
Jesus told them to not worry about it and told them to do more important things.
He told them Acts 1:8 that they would receive power.

Jesus showed us that we will never be a witness if we are not prepared.
How can we prepare?
              Ways to prepare-Reading the Bible, Believing in Jesus, Being involved in church, Being at church for the right reasons, Going on Mission for Jesus not just a cool location.

How can we go on mission?
      You don't have to go anywhere, just be on mission in your daily life. You don't have to be in a certain place to share Jesus.

Think about how you can get to know Jesus more this week. Pray about how you can go on mission.  Pray that you will do things for the right reason.

How can you start from scratch to get in the word?
Why don't people read their bible?
If you aren't in the Word, you will never be prepared.
There is no excuse for not reading the Word.

Final Thoughts/Questions
You don't have to just be at church to serve God.
Sometime this week take time away from tv, facebook, video games and actually open and read your Bible.
Don't be afraid to tell people about Jesus, the worst thing they can say is they don't believe. You don't have to pressure them, just serve them.
How will you go on mission?
Who will you serve?
Are you a good witness or a bad witness? (Bad Apple????)
