In this episode of Sermon Notes, host Brian Ball is joined by Brandon Abbott, campus and teaching pastor at the Church at West End, to kick off a nine-week journey through the book of Acts. Together, they dive deep into Acts 1:12–14, exploring the unity, devotion, and hope that characterized the early church as they awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit. The conversation highlights the importance of corporate prayer, the power of being unified amidst diversity, and how anticipation of God's promises can shape the way a church lives out its mission today. Along the way, Brian and Brandon reflect on the practical challenges and beautiful truths in prayer, community, and the ongoing work of God’s Spirit in the local church.
