A Church That Waits on the Lord

Speaker: Pastor Marty Voltz
Scripture: Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4-5
Series: The Church You've Always Dreamed Of

In an age of instant everything, Jesus commands us to “Wait on the Lord!”

  • The church that waits on the Lord is the church that understands she is under orders (Acts 1:8b).
  • The church that waits on the Lord is an expectant church (Acts 2:1).
  • The church that waits on the Lord is a praying church (Acts 1:14).
  • The church that waits on the Lord is a church that will receive the Father’s promise (Acts 1:4).
    • Presence
    • Power
    • Direction
  • The church that waits on the Lord is a church that boldly moves forward together (Acts 1:14)!

The church never gets beyond her need to wait on the Lord. “Wait on your God always!” (Hosea 12:6).

Assignment for the week: Read Isaiah 40:28-31. (In verse 31, read “wait” in place of “hope.”) Tell God where it is in your life that you need your strength renewed. Ask Him to strengthen you by His Spirit in that area of your life. Now wait expectantly on the Lord!
