The Holy Spirit
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.
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?
How can I receive from the Holy Spirit?
May 21, 2023 • Mark Bailey • 1 Corinthians 2:9–10
Many believers know about the Holy Spirit and the blessings found in Him, but they struggle to take hold of these privileges. In this talk, we look at some biblical ways to receive from the Holy Spirit and see that actually it is not difficult or super spiritual, but very authentic and life giving.
The Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit
April 30, 2023 • Mark Bailey • John 14:16–20
The Holy Spirit was present and involved in creation. He was involved in Jesus’ ministry and in Acts 2 we read how the church was birthed in the power of the Holy Spirit. CityChurch Charlotte was also started with a move of God’s Spirit where lives were radically impacted by His presence and power.
