You Will Be My Witnesses

UNSTOPPABLE: You Will Be My Witnesses (Acts 1:1–11)

The book of Acts doesn’t tell a finished story — it tells a continuing one. Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and then promised His followers something extraordinary: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses… to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

In this message, we explore how the risen Christ:

Continues His Work through His people.

Promises His Spirit to empower their mission.

Defines the Mission — witness, not speculation.

Ascends in Glory and Will Return — fueling urgency and hope.

Acts is not just their story — it’s ours. The same Spirit who empowered the first disciples empowers us today. The same gospel they proclaimed is the gospel we proclaim. And the same Jesus who turned the world upside down is still at work through His Spirit, His people, and His church.

Key Verse: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…” (Acts 1:8, ESV)

Key Takeaway: Jesus continues His unstoppable work through Spirit-filled witnesses — then and now.
