The Person of the Holy Spirit
Many Christ-followers could probably come up with a quick and fairly accurate description of God the Father and of Jesus. But what about the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit your conscience? Is it karma? Is it like the force in the Star Wars movies? Is it those goosebumps you get while hearing a good song or hearing a stirring message? Why do some churches seem to be obsessed with the Holy Spirit while other churches virtually ignore the subject? Just who is the Holy Spirit and what role does he play in the world today? As we continue our sermon series on the book of Acts, this week’s message will push us to stretch our thinking about how we see God and His activity in our lives through the Holy Spirit.

This Week: "The Power of the Holy Spirit"
All it takes is a brief power failure to make us realize how much we benefit from an invisible resource called electricity. Electricity enables us to charge our electronic devices and even our cars. It cools and cooks our food. It can freeze water and make bread pop out of a toaster. And when it’s dark the lights come on, all because we have available to us an invisible power.
The invisible, available power we have in our homes is nothing compared to the exceedingly great power that all who follow Jesus have in their lives in the Person of the Holy Spirit. He is the invisible presence and power of God, and one of His chief roles is to empower ordinary believers to live supernatural lives. This week’s message will help us to get better acquainted with this powerful One who has been made available to us.
