Empowered by the Holy Spirit

May 28, 2023 • Mark Bailey • 1 Corinthians 2:4–8

Christianity was never supposed to be boring - a fundamental religious list of do's and don'ts. It is a living experience of following Jesus, the living Christ with the power of His Spirit! Paul wrote to Timothy that many people have a form of godliness, but deny its power (2 Timothy 3:5).

What about us in Charlotte? Will we settle for a powerless life or will we open our lives to the authentic presence and power of the Holy Spirit?

The Gifts of the Father

June 18, 2023 • Mark Bailey • Luke 11:9–13

While the Holy Spirit is ultimately the gift of the Father, many of us have settled for getting gifts like eternal blessing, love, grace and favor, but there is so much more to the “Gift of the Father.”

The Fruit of the Spirit

June 11, 2023 • Mark Bailey • Galatians 5:19–25

Just like harvesting fruit from a fruit tree, growing our spiritual fruitfulness takes time and a healthy environment. But we can grow our fruit by abiding in Jesus and inhaling His fragrance of love, patience, joy, etc.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

June 4, 2023 • Mark Bailey • 1 Corinthians 12:1–11

The Holy Spirit is not only our comforter, but we are also empowered by Him. A large part of being empowered by the Holy Spirit is found in 1 Corinthians 12 – a powerful encouragement from scripture to engage with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
