The Holy Knot | World Without End

Redemption Hill Church Sermons

Join us in this enlightening episode as we continue into Acts chapter 1:1-11, exploring the profound significance of Christ's ascension and the empowering role of the Holy Spirit. We recap key insights from the previous week and look into the historical context of the Book of Acts, authored by Luke, a remarkable historian and companion of the Apostle Paul.Discover how the early disciples grappled with their understanding of Jesus' mission and the establishment of His kingdom. We discuss the importance of both the works and words of Christ, emphasizing the "holy knot" that ties them together. As we unpack the themes of the already but not yet kingdom, we reflect on the mission given to God's people and the authority that comes from Christ's ascension.00:00:00 - Introduction to Acts 1:1-1100:02:17 - Reading of Scripture00:02:34 - Recap of Last Week's Teaching00:03:05 - Background on Luke and the Book of Acts00:04:58 - The Importance of the Book of Acts00:06:37 - Questions and Curiosities About the Church00:07:29 - The Book of Acts as Our Family History00:08:54 - Prescriptive vs. Descriptive in Acts00:09:35 - Theological Insights from the Book of Acts00:10:20 - The Centrality of Jesus in Acts00:11:13 - Understanding the Holy Knot00:12:45 - The Challenge of Doubt and Faithfulness00:16:16 - The Call to Make a Case for Christ00:17:32 - The Role of the Holy Spirit00:18:34 - The Theme of Acts: Witnesses to the Ends of the Earth00:19:37 - The Disciples' Misunderstanding of the Kingdom00:21:35 - The Patience of Christ with His Disciples00:22:29 - The Shift After the Holy Spirit Comes00:23:40 - The Kingdom of God: Spiritual and Physical00:24:47 - The Importance of the Ascension00:25:50 - The Ascension and Its Implications00:27:58 - The Authority of Christ's Instructions00:29:26 - The Sovereignty of Christ Affirmed00:30:30 - Closing Prayer and Reflection
