About this episode
Pastor Jordan Boyce discusses the importance of waiting on God as a preparation for receiving the Holy Spirit and fulfilling His promises.
Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching The Ascension: Hurry Up and Wait📝 Notes: The Book of Acts begins not with movement, but with waiting. Before the disciples could go into the world empowered by the Holy Spirit, Jesus commanded them to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father. Waiting on God is not wasted time. It is where God forms character, deepens trust, refines purpose, and prepares His people for what only He can provide through the Holy Spirit. Throughout Scripture, God consistently works through seasons of waiting to shape lives into His masterpiece. In a culture driven by hurry, distraction, and meaningless movement, believers are called to actively wait through prayer, devotion, and trust in God’s timing. The same God who fulfilled His promise at Pentecost still works suddenly and powerfully in the lives of those who wait on Him today.🕊️ Key Highlights:• The first act of the apostles was to waitNot rush ahead• Waiting on God is not wasted timeIt is preparation• God forms and refines us in waitingTrust the process• Waiting is an active actionPray, seek, inquire• Before the disciples could goThey had to receive• Meaningless movement creates…
