“Healing and Wholeness”

Hear the story of the first healing miracle in the book of Acts and consider how Spirit-led and Spirit-filled committees are sources of healing and wholeness today.
“Waiting on the Spirit”
April 7, 2024
Early Christians had to figure out what it meant to follow Christ after his resurrection. So do we! This week we consider what it means to live in the resurrection and to wait for the Holy Spirit.
Read Acts 1:1-11 and consider the following questions.
- What were the disciples hoping would happen? (see Acts 1:6)
- What did Jesus tell the disciples to do and why? (Acts 1:4-5)
- What would happen after they received the gift of the Holy Spirit? (Acts 1:8)
- How are we waiting on the Holy Spirit?
- Have you ever had a particularly memorable experience of the Spirit?
One of the best known stories of the Holy Spirit in Methodist circles is that of John Wesley’s Aldersgate experience. Joe Iovino, writing for United Methodist Communications, tells the story on the UMC.org website. You can learn more at
