Intercepting Boredom

Dr Lee Heyward, Brooklink - 11/5/2023

Acts 1:6-8

THE SETTING: Where we are in the story

  • Jesus during these 40 days:
    • “shows himself and gives many convincing proofs”
    • Two themes:
      • “spoke about the kingdom”
      • “spoke about the gift the Father promised”
  • “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

JESUS’ ANSWER

  • “Not for you to know the times…”
  • “…the Father has set (the time) by his own authority.”

JESUS’ ALTERNATIVE TO BOREDOM…BUT you…

  • …Will receive power.
  • …Will be my witnesses:

WHERE MISSION HAPPENS?

  • your Jerusalem—
  • your Judea—
  • your Samaria—
  • AND to the ends of the earth.

HOW TO RESIST BOREDOM

  • Go
  • Send
  • Pray

…or disobey… and remain bored!
