Week 4: 

A POWER THAT TRANSFORMS

Bjorn Uys

Acts 1:7–8

“The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Word

  1. Prayer: Open with prayer.

  2. Read: James 1:23–25

    “For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a MIRROR. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free (JESUS), and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.”
