The New Has Come! Part 3

2 Corinthians 5:17

August 12, 2018 • Pastor Ben Cross

Have you ever wondered how the Holy Spirit works? Or what it takes for you to experience his power in your life?

The Holy Spirit's presence and power in a believer is one of the most misunderstood and neglected benefits of the Christian life.

In fact, some have even referred to the Holy Spirit as "the forgotten God." But if we want to live like Jesus, the Spirit's empowerment is absolutely essential.

In this message, you'll learn how the Holy Spirit works in the life of a believer and how He makes it possible for us to enjoy the fullness of our salvation through his empowering presence. You don't want to miss this.

One of the major themes throughout the Bible is God’s glory. After he would meet with God, Moses’ face would literally glow. It scared people so much that he had to cover his face after being in God's presence. Jesus preached about God’s glory, and here at First B, we often say everything we do is for God’s glory. But what exactly is God’s glory? This Sunday as we continue our Foundations series, we unpacked this question and see how God’s glory gives us purpose for our lives today.

Did you know you are a holy priest in God’s kingdom? You may have never been to Bible school, and the thought of seeing a Greek verb might make you feel like an undergrad at a rocket science convention. 🚀 But if you are a Christian, God has chosen you. As a follower of Jesus, you have incredible status, perhaps even more than you know! In this sermon, we’re going to explore how God has made you as a priest, prophet, and as royalty in his kingdom. You might be surprised at the authority we have as God’s people, and you’ll get to see how this practically affects the way we live today.
