What makes Jesus... different? Different from other religions, different from other ways of life, different than just doing your own thing?

Read MoreThis week we kick off our Acts series by looking at the disciples’ first “Now What?” moment after Jesus went back to heaven. They didn’t know what to do next, but they trusted, obeyed, and waited — and when the Holy Spirit came, everything changed. Peter preached boldly, and thousands of people believed in Jesus.
