Alive In The Spirit: Power Up - Sam Bricknell


Listen Later

In this candid message—delivered whilst literally waiting for a baby to arrive—Pastor Sam dives into Romans 8 and discover what it truly means to live by the Spirit rather than the flesh.

We unpack the crucial difference between condemnation (which leads to death) and conviction (which leads to transformation). Paul's words in Romans 8 reveal that through Christ, we're under a new law—the law of the Spirit—and the main character in our story is now the Holy Spirit working within us.

The message explores how the Spirit gives us three key things: power (the same power that raised Christ from the dead!), love (drawing us deeper into God's heart), and self-discipline (helping us persevere in faith). We're challenged to stop striving in our own strength and instead surrender to the Spirit's ongoing work, becoming beacons of hope in a world struggling with conflict, financial pressure, and loneliness.

The message concludes with communion and an invitation to let the Holy Spirit illuminate areas needing transformation, reminding us that who the Son sets free is free indeed.
