He calls you because he's powerful. Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Acts. In this episode, Paul explains why Jesus promised his disciples the power of the Holy Spirit before sending them into the world, reminding us that our weakness isn't an obstacle to God's work...it's the very place where his power is put on display.
