We begin our sermon series, “When the Spirit Moves,” with the message “We Learn to Wait.” The first movement of the Spirit in Acts is not action. It’s waiting. That may feel surprising, even uncomfortable. Because when we think about faith, we often think about “doing” …going, serving, building. But before any of that begins, Jesus gathers his disciples and gives them a single instruction: Do not leave. Wait for the promise. Wait for the Spirit. Wait for the power that does not come from you. Waiting, in Scripture, is never passive. It's an active trust. It’s the discipline of believing that God is at work even when nothing seems to be happening.
