Psalm 32
Alpha starting - Tuesday 12th February

To understand what Jesus has done we need to understand the gravity of our sin.
Acts 1:1 - 14
The message of the Risen King Jesus cannot be stopped.
Vision - looking forward. What's next?

vs 9 - 11
The disciples were bewildered. But what was next? Spreading the Word.
His death and resurrection are the centre.

The Risen Jesus is indeed Lord of the universe. He is indeed worthy of worship. But do we live so that He is on the throne of our lives?

What does the Spirit giving us power look like?
- We carry His Name.
- The chance for all people everywhere to repent and have their sins forgiven.

Our witness takes place through the bold, unashamed declaration of His Word.
We are witnesses clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit.
How - Read the Word
- Prayer - talk and listen to God.
vs 12 - 14
They waited in prayer for an answer on what God wanted.
So should we!
