Proofs
Acts 1:3 // Convincing Proofs! The Resurrection of Jesus is the bedrock of our faith, but it is not a blind faith. It is a faith based upon eyewitness testimony! We believe the story.
Acts 1:8 // Witnesses are the people who tell the story. The True Story. The Story that gives our stories meaning!
Prepare
1 Peter 3:15 // Always be prepared! With gentleness and respect!
Colossians 4:2 // How? PRAYER! And be on the lookout!
Colossians 4:5 // Love your neighbor…it will shock them!
Colossians 4:6 // Remember Grace: receiving what they do not deserve! And be tasteful!
Clouds
Acts 1:9 & Luke 21:27 // The word “cloud” has huge implications for who Jesus is and what is all about.
Daniel 7:13-14 // “Dominion” in the Kingdom of God is very different than in “the world.” Jesus’ active reign is about restoring that which is broken, utilizing weapons made out of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control!
