[3550.86 --> 3551.84] Certain individuals
[3551.84 --> 3552.50] That are related
[3552.50 --> 3553.18] To what happened
[3553.18 --> 3554.24] And they have to give
[3554.24 --> 3554.96] Their account
[3554.96 --> 3556.26] Of the events
[3556.26 --> 3556.96] That took place
[3556.96 --> 3557.88] How they remember
[3557.88 --> 3559.16] The unfolding of events
[3559.16 --> 3560.46] Their relationship
[3560.46 --> 3561.74] To the person in question
[3561.74 --> 3562.70] How they know
[3562.70 --> 3563.38] The character
[3563.38 --> 3564.52] And usually
[3564.52 --> 3565.56] The testimony
[3565.56 --> 3566.76] Of a good witness
[3566.76 --> 3568.36] Changes the course
[3568.36 --> 3569.04] Of the verdict
[3569.04 --> 3572.36] In Acts chapter 1
[3572.36 --> 3573.56] As Jesus prepares
[3573.56 --> 3574.36] His disciples
[3574.36 --> 3575.86] To receive the Holy Spirit
[3575.86 --> 3577.44] He gives them
[3577.44 --> 3578.08] A title
[3578.08 --> 3580.04] He gives a category
[3580.04 --> 3581.32] To define both
[3581.32 --> 3581.96] The identity
[3581.96 --> 3583.04] And the purpose
[3583.04 --> 3583.74] Of the church
[3583.74 --> 3584.02] And you know
[3584.02 --> 3584.68] What that is?
[3585.86 --> 3586.26] Witness
[3586.26 --> 3588.14] Jesus says
[3588.14 --> 3588.76] To his disciples
[3588.76 --> 3591.16] You will be
[3591.16 --> 3592.80] My witnesses
[3592.80 --> 3595.16] Around the world
[3595.16 --> 3596.90] You will be the people
[3596.90 --> 3597.90] Who sort of testify
[3597.90 --> 3599.16] To all that has happened
[3599.16 --> 3600.44] To who that I am
[3600.44 --> 3602.28] In front of a watching world
[3602.28 --> 3603.58] And this morning
[3603.58 --> 3604.32] We're going to unpack
[3604.32 --> 3605.06] What Acts 1
[3605.06 --> 3606.26] And other passages teach
[3606.26 --> 3607.80] About how the Holy Spirit
[3607.80 --> 3609.26] Empowers and equips
[3609.26 --> 3609.84] The church
[3609.84 --> 3611.00] To bear witness
[3611.00 --> 3611.52] To Jesus
[3611.52 --> 3612.42] In our words
[3612.42 --> 3613.90] In our deeds
[3613.90 --> 3615.52] And in our shared life
[3615.52 --> 3616.68] That's where we're going
[3616.68 --> 3617.22] This morning
[3617.22 --> 3619.52] Now we touched on this
[3619.52 --> 3620.60] A few weeks ago
[3620.60 --> 3621.24] So I'm only going to
[3621.24 --> 3622.18] Touch on it briefly today
[3622.18 --> 3623.28] But the disciples
[3623.28 --> 3624.36] Are grappling
[3624.36 --> 3625.66] With the significance
[3625.66 --> 3626.62] Of Jesus' resurrection
[3626.62 --> 3628.46] They are overjoyed
[3628.46 --> 3629.34] They are confused
[3629.34 --> 3630.32] They are excited
[3630.32 --> 3631.30] About what it means
[3631.30 --> 3631.78] For them
[3631.78 --> 3632.98] And they ask Jesus
[3632.98 --> 3634.18] A genuine question
[3634.18 --> 3634.52] They say
[3634.52 --> 3634.90] Jesus
[3634.90 --> 3636.88] Are you at this time
[3636.88 --> 3638.84] Going to restore
[3638.84 --> 3639.34] The kingdom
[3639.34 --> 3640.74] To Israel
[3640.74 --> 3642.32] And that was
[3642.32 --> 3643.32] Their vision
[3643.32 --> 3643.80] Of the kingdom
[3643.80 --> 3644.60] Is that God
[3644.60 --> 3645.22] Through the Messiah
[3645.22 --> 3646.36] Was going to restore Israel
[3646.36 --> 3647.24] Rebuild the city
[3647.24 --> 3648.34] Make the temple great
[3648.34 --> 3649.82] And Jesus' vision
[3649.82 --> 3650.38] As they're going to see
[3650.38 --> 3651.62] Is so much bigger
[3651.62 --> 3652.30] But what he says
[3652.30 --> 3652.54] To them
[3652.54 --> 3653.22] Is almost confusing
[3653.22 --> 3653.58] To them
[3653.58 --> 3654.32] Because his response
[3654.32 --> 3655.86] Is it's not for you
[3655.86 --> 3656.42] To know
[3656.42 --> 3658.26] The times and dates
[3658.26 --> 3659.30] That the Father
[3659.30 --> 3659.78] Has set
[3659.78 --> 3661.08] By his own authority
[3661.08 --> 3662.30] And Jesus here
