“Christ ... tells 120 disciples to go into Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father”
A sermon on Acts 2:42–47 calling the church to reclaim the fourfold devotion of the early church — apostles' teaching (Scripture), fellowship (koinonia), breaking of bread (communion & shared meals), and prayer — which produced unity, generosity, signs, and steady gospel growth. Philip Mitchell exhorts both local and digital disciples to move from consumer Christianity to committed participation, supports small churches, and announces a new book, a new series, and his forthcoming sabbatical.
“Go into the city of Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father.”
A sermon on Acts 2:22-36 that expounds Peter’s Pentecost message: the life, death (as God’s plan), and resurrection of Jesus, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as proof of the resurrection, and an urgent call to Spirit-empowered, biblical proclamation and repentance in the last days.
“"But ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence" — the disciples had to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise.”
A Sunday worship service that included Psalms reading, announcements, a baby dedication and communion, and a sermon from Acts 1:4–8 calling the congregation to wait on God’s promise, trust His timing, endure the preparation process, and expect Holy Spirit power to be sent so they can witness locally and globally.
“Paraphrase: 'Do not go anywhere... wait until I send the helper, the Holy Spirit.'”
A Sunday service focused on Philippians 2:5 urging believers to adopt the mindset of Christ. The sermon identified practical marks of spiritual maturity (positive under pressure, sensitivity to others, mastering the mouth, peacemaking), included corporate prayer/anointing for healing, ministry announcements, and an invitation to surrender to Jesus.
