Holy Spirit Part 5

March 13, 2022 • Keith Daugherty

We are continuationists. We believe the church of the book of Acts is the pattern God expects from us. We are to be supernatural people. The Holy Spirit is at work among us today the same as he was in the New Testament. But according to Paul…supernatural and structure are not enemies. He wrote to the Corinthian church to establish a structure for them…He was actually…in a loving way correcting them…They were enjoying the supernatural move the Holy Spirit so much it became selfish…they had turned a Godly desire into an impure pursuit. --- #wearemercychurch If this is your first time with us, make sure to fill out the connect card: http://bit.ly/mcwfconnect OR text WELCOME to 3258994100 If you would like to give, you can do that here: http://bit.ly/mcwfgives If you need prayer, please let us know in the comments section or private message us and we would love to pray with you.

Holy Spirit Part 4

March 6, 2022 • Keith Daugherty

Many people make room for the God the Father and God the Son, but due to extremes, excess, and misunderstanding…a lot of Christians neglect the power and intimacy with Jesus that can be known by making room for God…The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God’s only agent on plant earth. He is the one who makes Jesus real to us. When two or three are gathered in His name…Jesus says, I am in the midst of them. The Holy Spirit is the one who makes Jesus real to us. --- #wearemercychurch If this is your first time with us, make sure to fill out the connect card: http://bit.ly/mcwfconnect OR text WELCOME to 3258994100 If you would like to give, you can do that here: http://bit.ly/mcwfgives If you need prayer, please let us know in the comments section or private message us and we would love to pray with you.

The only real freedom is found in surrender. The quality of your freedom is determined by the integrity of your Lord. Who’s your Lord? Nobody is completely absolutely free…so who are you serving? Freedom Reigns in this place. --- #wearemercychurch If this is your first time with us, make sure to fill out the connect card: http://bit.ly/mcwfconnect OR text WELCOME to 3258994100 If you would like to give, you can do that here: http://bit.ly/mcwfgives If you need prayer, please let us know in the comments section or private message us and we would love to pray with you.

Holy Spirit Part 2

If you have spent much time reading the Corinthian letters, you will notice how Paul intentionally places the famous “love” chapter ... chapter 13 http://...smack dab in the middle of his conversation about the public use of the gifts of the Spirit. In chapter 12 he details what the gifts of the Holy Spirit are and then in Chapter 14 he establishes structure for the Corinthian church on their public use...basically saying... “Okay Corinthian http://church...this is what its going to look like when the spirit comes and speaks in when you are gathered together publicly” As a pastoral and apostolic elder Paul establishes structure because he had received word that these people were abusing the gifts of the Spirit without any concern or thought for their fellow church-goer or especially the outsider who is visiting their worship environment. --- #wearemercychurch If this is your first time with us, make sure to fill out the connect card: http://bit.ly/mcwfconnect OR text WELCOME to 3258994100 If you would like to give, you can do that here: http://bit.ly/mcwfgives If you need prayer, please let us know in the comments section or private message us and we would love to pray with you.

Holy Spirit Part 1

Over the next few weeks, I hope to cover topics such as: 1. What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? 2. What is the phenomenon of speaking in tongues and what does it mean? 3. Are the gifts…like tongues, prophecy, working of miracles etc. even still for today? 4. If so, what is the biblical pattern of how they operate in a public worship service? Our heart over the next few weeks is to have a conversation about these matters in an open in honest way…not in a dogmatic or argumentative way. Many of you come from backgrounds that are unfamiliar with the work of the Holy Spirit or even in some cases you were taught against it. Our hope is that this will bring fresh insight, recommend resources for further study, and invite you on a journey to experience the power of the Holy Spirit. --- #wearemercychurch If this is your first time with us, make sure to fill out the connect card: http://bit.ly/mcwfconnect OR text WELCOME to 3258994100 If you would like to give, you can do that here: http://bit.ly/mcwfgives If you need prayer, please let us know in the comments section or private message us and we would love to pray with you.
