Summary

Main message: The church must follow the example of Acts 1 by stopping, surrendering personal agendas, and waiting for the Holy Spirit — that posture (being "stoppable" by God) is the foundation that makes the people of God unstoppable in mission. Practically, Christians are called to ask and obey "What do you want me to do?" and wait on God's leading.

Key points:

  • Jesus commanded the apostles to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promised Holy Spirit; waiting is intentional, active, and foundational to mission.
  • The kingdom (God's agenda) must come before our personal agendas; seeking God's will first results in God's provision and power.
  • Being willing to be stopped by God (surrendering pace and plans) enables supernatural effectiveness — Acts shows prayerful waiting led to unstoppable fruit and power.
  • Practical call: devote time to prayer asking two questions — "God, how can I be a light?" and "God, what can I do for you?" — and obey whatever He says.
  • Weekly homework: intentionally walk and pray, asking only "What do you want me to do for you?" to cultivate readiness for the Spirit's guidance.
