These final words before His ascension outline both the promise and purpose for every believer: the empowering of the Holy Spirit and the call to be His witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>This power (dunamis) is not just for miracles, but for boldness, clarity, and strength to live and speak as Christ\u2019s ambassadors. The Holy Spirit is God\u2019s abiding presence within us\u2014guiding, convicting, and enabling us to reflect Christ in both word and deed.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019s call to witness begins in \u201cJerusalem\u201d\u2014our homes, families, and close communities. It then expands to \u201cJudaea and Samaria\u201d\u2014our broader society and those who may be different from us culturally or spiritually. Finally, it reaches \u201cthe uttermost part of the earth,\u201d reflecting God\u2019s heart for all people to know Him.<\/p>\n<p>        \r\n    <div>\r\n        <div id=\"h5ap69f52b2e7464a\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player\" style='width:100%;margin:0 auto;max-width: 100%;'>\r\n            <audio class=\"player\" playsinline controls  >\r\n                <source src=\"https:\/\/cos.org.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devo-ACTS-One-8-Eng.mp3\"  type=\"audio\/mp3\" \/>\r\n            <\/audio>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
