The Holy Spirit is a person. The Holy Spirit can be grieved. The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Ephesus, warning them to not grieve the Holy Spirit. Grief can best be described as a deep sorrow experienced from the loss or betrayal of something or someone. What does it mean to grieve the Holy Spirit, and how can we make sure not to do it?

Born. Filled. EMPOWERED. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…” In describing your relationship with God, would one of your descriptors be power? When God’s people are filled with the Holy Spirit, they are plugged into an omnipotent power. What would it look like to be unleashed with the power of God? He is available!
Beauty or Beast—Spiritual Gifts Invested in the Local Church
May 23, 2021 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht
It is God’s idea. He’s the one that put it all together. He created the blueprint. He gave everything necessary for it to be a healthy, beautiful, functioning family. He birthed the local church. When spiritual gifts are understood, appropriately used, and fully invested the local church, it is a beautiful, healthy, fully-functioning body. When spiritual gifts are not used biblically, the local church becomes a beast. So it’s a simple choice—BEAUTY OR BEAST!
