Summary
In this dynamic panel discussion, Dr. Val, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams continue The Road to Pentecost series, diving into Acts 1 and the powerful lessons found on the journey toward Pentecost.
The panel opens with Thomas and his need for evidence. They reveal how Jesus meets our doubts with an invitation to believe and go forth. God is not afraid of our questions.
Moving into Acts 1, the panel unpacks the historical context of the Book of Acts and explores what it means that Jesus commissioned us to continue His work. But there’s tension because the disciples were seeking external power when God was trying to give them something internal.
The conversation tackles timely questions such as: How important is it to wait? Are we asking God the right questions? How do you walk in power without having all the details?
The key truth from Acts 1:6-7? You don’t need to know the season’s timeline; you need to walk faithfully in the one you’re in.
