A Time To Wait, A Time Not To Wait Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

Is The New Testament Reliable Series

Contributed by David Dewitt on Apr 3, 2004
