Knowing, loving, and serving the Son; together

“Though I have much to share with you, I would rather not just say it online. I would rather talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete!” (2 John 1:12, slightly adapted).
If you want to get in touch with us, email our lead pastor, Peter Wiebe.
We have begun a series of messages on Sunday mornings from the book of Acts. We are calling the series "Come Holy Spirit." On Feb. 2, Peter introduced Acts from the rich passage in Acts 1:1-11, where God's kingdom is discussed by Jesus and His apostles. In some respects, the kingdom is future, but in the meantime, as Jesus says in the theme verse of Acts:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8.) The coming of the Spirit was the "now" part of the Kingdom, and the apostles are about to experience that in chapter 2.
On Feb. 9, Peter will share about Jesus' ascension. You can read about it in Acts 1:8-14.
Acts link together nicely with our previous series in Isaiah. You can compare Isaiah 49:6 with Acts 13:47 and see God's heart expressed in both books - that the good news of Jesus go to the nations. See also Isaiah 52:7.
Another link between Isaiah and Acts is the Holy Spirit. Acts 2 is the monumental chapter about the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, and that's just the beginning of Acts. But take a look at some of Isaiah's passages about the Holy Spirit: Isaiah 11:1-2, Isaiah 32:15, Isaiah 42:1, Isaiah 44:3, Isaiah 59:21, and Isaiah 61:1-3.
