* In those days, they were about to receive a power that had been since before time. They were going to receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
* In the days of our parents or grandparents, man discovered atomic power. Man did not create atomic power - God did. But man discovered what had already existed. Man tapped into it. Not only did man tap into it, he used it. At first for reasons of destruction, but when he saw how powerful it was, he found means to use it for the good of man, rather than the destruction.
* We have a power within us that has the potential to change our world. But if we don’t recognize that it was given to us to be witnesses to the ends of the earth, we will continue to sit back holding our cups out as beggars for someone else to fill-up.
* We are to be witnesses!
- A witness shares what he know to be the truth
- We have the expert witness living within us - The Holy Spirit
- We know the truth, plus we have the Holy Spirit
- It is simple to tell the truth - nothing hard about that
- What should hold us back
* We have seen these who are taking the gospel to the end of the earth. They have moved to places where we will never go. They are bold. So are you!
