This message was shared on 04/21/24 at First Christian Church in Wilmington, Illinois.

Pastor Jason Pace delves into the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, drawing from passages in the book of Acts and likening the experience to a drone powered by a battery pack. Pastor Jason accentuates the essence of the Holy Spirit in human lives, implying that living without the Spirit's power merely exists, influenced, and ultimately decayed by external factors rather than experiencing God's planned fullness of life. He contrasts flesh and spirit desires, stating that surrendering to flesh ultimately leads to death while the Spirit brings life. Furthermore, he explains that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to resist sin and commit to God's obedience, that those filled with Christ's spirit belong to Him and possess life-giving power. Drawing from disciples who were transformed into powerful Gospel witnesses after receiving the Holy Spirit, Pastor Pace emphasizes the contemporary availability of such power. He urges believers to share the news of Jesus and the Holy Spirit's power, particularly with those living according to the flesh.
