A wave of change
*Text: Acts 2:1-12, 38-47*
*Introduction:* Before His ascension, Jesus gave clear instructions to the young church to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
The church’s first response was to huddle together in prayer (Acts 1:14).
Then God really got their attention.
