About this Episode

The Promised Spirit | Spirit, Power & The Church

In this message from Acts 1, we see the early church’s beginning and the promise Jesus made to every believer: you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes. We learn what it means to live in that power, walk in the Spirit, and allow God to lead us with boldness and clarity. This isn’t just history—it’s the start of a Spirit-led life that still applies today.

Key Insights:

  1. The Holy Spirit isn’t an add-on. He’s the power source for everything God has called you to do.
  2. You don’t need to wait for a second experience; the Spirit fills you at the moment of salvation.
  3. The early church’s growth and boldness were driven by ordinary people empowered by the Spirit, and that includes you.
  4. You choose daily to walk in the Spirit or silence Him. One leads to life. The other leads to frustration.
