Intercepting Boredom
November 5, 2023 • Dr Lee Heyward, Guest Speaker • Acts 1:6–8
THE SETTING: Where we are in the story
Jesus during these 40 days:
“shows himself and gives many convincing proofs”
Two themes: “spoke about the kingdom”; “spoke about the gift the Father promised”
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
JESUS’ ANSWER
“Not for you to know the times…”
“…the Father has set (the time) by his own authority.”
JESUS’ ALTERNATIVE TO BOREDOM…BUT you…
…Will receive power.
…Will be my witnesses
WHERE MISSION HAPPENS?
- your Jerusalem—
- your Judea—
- your Samaria—
- AND to the ends of the earth.
HOW TO RESIST BOREDOM
- Go
- Send
- Pray
…or disobey… and remain bored!

Child Dedication
Child Dedication Services give parents of young children a formal, public opportunity to dedicate their child to the Lord. They recognize their child as a gift from God. The parents publicly commit to providing a nurturing environment that encourages their child to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to develop an ongoing relationship with Him. The church family commits to support the parents as they disciple their child. We are excited to pray for Rejoice Sanner (Timothy & Lydia), Sophia Anderson (Chase & Amanda), Hazel Dibble (Daniel & Lacey). Elizabeth Lenz (David & Mary), Bennett Marthaler (James & Sarah), and Thaddeus Plitt (Ben & Mercedes).
Baptism
We believe, in accordance with the Lord’s command, Christians should be baptized as a public declaration of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Through baptism, Christians are proclaiming the spiritual reality of our death to sin and resurrection to new life in Christ. Believers being baptized: Tanner Anevicius, Joseph Lang, Samuel Lang, Chara Thompson, Alexander Fude, and Sam Pausig.
