Pentecost Sunday: The Infilling of the Holy Spirit

May 19, 2024 • Paul Lawler • Acts 2:1–13

Sermon: The Infilling of the Holy Spirit

Scripture: Acts 2:1-13

Teacher: Rev. Paul Lawler

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, Pastor Paul 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.
