Called To Witness
Christ Proclamation Church
Acts 1:1-26
October 5, 2014

Sermon Theme: God empowers us through the gift of the Holy Spirit and the certainty of the resurrection to be witnesses of the Kingdom and proclaimers of the gospel. The book of Acts is a historical account of the initial restoration of that Kingdom, but we are called to be on-going witnesses until Christ returns.
