The Church Restores While We Wait

Acts 1:9-26 | Eric Hovis | 8/10/25

This week, we continue our new series, Why Church?, in the book of Acts. In chapter 1:9-26, Jesus ascends to heaven and the apostles cast lots to determine who will replace Judas.

Pastor Eric highlights six takeaways from the text:

1) The church waits with a hopeful promise.

2) The church waits unified in prayer.

3) The church preaches the Word while we wait.

4) The church submits to the Word while we wait.

5) The church facilitates restoration while we wait.

6) The church gathers to finish the mission.
