READ
Acts 1:6-8 (NLT)
6 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” 7 He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. 8 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.”

REFLECT
At Trinity New Life Church, we exist to make disciples who change their world. One of our values is intentional evangelism. Proclaiming the truth of Jesus is a part of who we are as a faith community. Yet, it can be hard to actually discuss your faith with stangers. However, that is exactly what Jesus calls us to do so that all of His people have the opportunity to know Him.

Hallowed by your name, oh God! My voice sings praise to your name, my lips speak of your holiness, and my heart rejoices when it hears your name, my Lord! Worthy of glory and praise; my soul leaps at the chance to praise you and to spread the good news of your gospel.
