Sermon
Can I Get a Witness?
Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller
December 4, 2023 · 44 min
Summary
Jesus's final words to his disciples in Acts 1 commission them to bear witness to his resurrection globally, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The sermon identifies three principles for effective witnessing: supernatural empowerment through the Spirit, personal responsibility of every believer, and willingness to witness across cultural and relational boundaries.
Highlights
You can be moral, you can be religious, and you can be conservative without the Holy Spirit, but you cannot be a Christian without the Holy Spirit.
If the early church had only shared the gospel with people who were like them, none of us would be here because we are all gentiles.
The gospel is not good advice about how you can make yourself a better person. It is the good news that Jesus came on a rescue operation to do for us what we could never do for ourselves.
