Give

Here are some key points to remember from the sermon:

- Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit: This truth should impact how we live, think, and behave, recognizing the sacredness of our bodies as dwelling places for God's presence.

- Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit: The Spirit continually works to conform us to Christ's image, rescuing us from sin and empowering us for good works.

- The Holy Spirit's indwelling is permanent for believers: Unlike in the Old Testament, we now have the assurance of God's constant presence within us, transforming us from the inside out.

Sprit-led Persistent Prayer

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. • Luke 11:11–13

Here are a few points to meditate on this week: - Prayer should be intentional, intimate, intercessional, and insistent. We need to prioritize prayer, seek undistracted time with God, pray for others, and persist even when answers seem delayed. - Persistent prayer delights in God's will and is desperate for His presence. We should pray with the expectation that God will answer, not necessarily giving us what we want, but what we need - especially the gift of the Holy Spirit. - The Holy Spirit's work in our lives is transformative. He convicts us of sin, converts us to new life, connects us to God as our Father, causes us to glorify God, and equips and empowers the church for ministry.

The Holy Spirit's Role in Spiritual Warfare

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. • Ephesians 6:17

Here a few things to meditate on this week: - Spiritual warfare is real, and we must be prepared to stand firm when challenges arise in our lives. - The armor of God provides us with preparation, protection, and prevention against the enemy's attacks. - The sword of the Spirit (God's Word) is our offensive weapon, and we must know how to use it effectively in our daily battles.

Unleashing the Gifts of the Spirit

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. • Romans 12:3–8

Here are a few things to meditate on this week: - Spiritual gifts are grace gifts from God, distributed according to His will, not our worthiness or natural abilities. - Each believer has at least one spiritual gift, and we are called to use these gifts in service to the church and for God's glory. - The body of Christ functions best when we recognize our interdependence and use our diverse gifts in unity and love.
