Sermon: The Deliverance of Jesus

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:8-11

Teacher: Paul Lawler

Drawing parallels from the biblical narrative of God's people journeying through the desert, Pastor Paul Lawler reflects on how our own desert experiences reveal the true condition of our hearts and character. Listeners are guided through the desert seasons of key biblical figures like Joseph, Moses, and the Apostle Paul. Pastor Paul illuminates how these challenging times served as divine setups for breakthroughs, emphasizing that in the desert, God doesn't just change circumstances but transforms individuals.

Using the Apostle Paul's experiences as a backdrop, Pastor Paul explores the multifaceted nature of Jesus' deliverance. He highlights that it's not merely a human deliverance but a truth-filled, prayer-filled, and worshipful deliverance. Listeners are encouraged to embrace transparency within their Christian community, recognizing that deliverance often comes through shared burdens and mutual support. We're reminded that the desert may feel like a setback, but it's ultimately a place where divine resources are discovered and where God's transformative work is accomplished.

Pentecost Sunday: The Infilling of the Holy Spirit

May 19, 2024 • Bro. Chris Carter • Acts 2:1–13

Sermon: The Infilling of the Holy Spirit Scripture: Acts 2:1-13 Teacher: Bro. Chris Carter It's time to reevaluate our spiritual posture. What is your spiritual state's current status? Are we content with a lukewarm faith, or are we hungry for the fullness of God's Spirit? The Spirit-filled life is not just a suggestion—it's a command and a blessing to be embraced. In a world where many settle for a form of godliness devoid of its inherent power, Bro. Chris Carter challenges us to seek more. God paints a vivid picture in Scripture that His followers are intended to live a life infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. We're invited to contemplate the significance of Pentecost beyond mere symbolism because it marks the initiation of Spirit-filled living for every believer, a reality that should shape our daily walk with Christ. Living a Spirit-filled life isn't just about personal fulfillment; it's about being equipped to impact the world around us. Through the Spirit's empowerment, we're called to be more than spectators—we're called to be witnesses, boldly proclaiming the Gospel wherever we go. Don't settle for a life devoid of power; step into the abundant life God has promised through His Holy Spirit.
