The Spirit of God Lives & Moves In Us

A study of Acts

Connect, Engage, Ignite

The Spirit In Control

In Acts, the Holy Spirit led events to open the doors of The Kingdom to the unexpected. This sets the stage for the Church following the values of Jesus to go after the one.

The Spirit Opens Doors

October 17, 2021 • Andrew Lough • Acts 15:4–11

As Paul and Barnabas set out on a journey to spread the Gospel, they face hardship and opposition. However, the Gospel will not be stoped and is spread among the Gentiles.

The Spirit Takes a Turn

The Spirit Works With What We Have
