Marks of a Spirit-Filled Church /  by

Sermon Title:  Marks of a Spirit-Filled Church
Scripture Reading:  Ezekiel 43:1-5; John 14:15-21; Acts 1:1-8; Acts 2:42-47

The Scriptures teach us that the Father is the originator of all things, the Son is the revealer of the one true God, and that the Holy Spirit is the completer of God’s divine program and redemptive plan for the world.

In the OT, the Holy Spirit was at work in creation, empowered key individuals, and filled the Temple for a time. But it was through Jesus that the Spirit came in a unique way, empowering him to bring about the Kingdom on the earth. After Jesus is resurrected, he tells his disciples that the Spirit would soon empower them to proclaim the Gospel and continue his mission.

In Marks of a Spirit-Filled Church, pastor David has us consider what it looks like when the Spirit is at work in a church, and what we must do to welcome his transforming presence.

Jesus taught his disciples how they too could make disciples. They were afraid. They were uncertain about the future, and they didn’t think they could be faithful to carry out his commands. But Jesus didn’t leave them or us alone. In the book of Acts we reading about the coming of the Holy Spirit and the power that is able to propel the church forward.
