Overview

✨ After the Yes: From Purpose to Presence, Now Empowered ✨

Have you ever sensed that quiet nudge in your heart — that stirring that says, “I think God is calling me to something” — only for fear to whisper, “I’m not ready… I’m not qualified… what if I fail?”

You’re not alone. Throughout Scripture, God called people with doubts, flaws, and pasts — Rahab, Zacchaeus, even Jonah. And He still calls us today. The good news is that He never calls without equipping. That’s why Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit: to guide, empower, and give courage for the mission ahead.

Collin Brennan dives into Acts 1 & 2 and we discover what happens when God doesn’t just call you — He fills you.

From the waiting room in Jerusalem to the outpouring at Pentecost, we’ll see how ordinary people were transformed into bold witnesses through the Spirit’s power.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” — Acts 1:8

Whether you’ve already said “yes” to God or you’re still figuring out what that looks like, this message is an invitation to step forward with faith. You don’t need to have everything figured out; you just need to respond.

Go Deeper

These Bible reading plans are more than just daily devotionals—they’re invitations to go deeper in your faith. Whether you’re exploring the wisdom of Proverbs, the bold challenge of James, or the redemptive story of Samson, each study is designed to draw you closer to the heart of God.

Take your next step:

Reflect with journal prompts
Talk it out in small group discussions
Pray through the lessons
Apply the truths to your everyday life

Don’t just read the Word—live it. Dive into one of these studies and let God transform your mind, strengthen your walk, and equip you to follow Jesus more faithfully.
