This week, Jake began a new mini-series, Living on Purpose, and today we discussed how before Jesus sent His followers into action, He commanded them to wait. After the resurrection, Jesus clarified their purpose: to be witnesses to all nations, but instead of giving a strategy, He promised power through the Holy Spirit and instructed them to stay, tarry, and abide in Jerusalem. This waiting was not passive; it was a posture of sitting, remaining, and abiding in God through devoted prayer. The disciples obeyed by gathering in unity and committing themselves to prayer and supplication, modeling how God’s direction, power, and peace come not from rushing into purpose but from patiently abiding with Him. Living on purpose, personally and as a church, begins with learning the posture of Jesus; sitting and abiding in prayer while waiting for God’s lead.
