The Spirit Enables

The disciples obeyed Jesus and waited for the Holy Spirit to come as promised, an arrival that was marked by great power from God.

Jesus had instructed His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit because He would empower them to be His witnesses on earth. As promised, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, filled them and empowered them to complete the mission they had been given. God gives the Holy Spirit to all who trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, and the Spirit changes us to be more like Jesus.

Because the Holy Spirit changes us to be more like Christ each day, we rely on the Holy Spirit as we share the gospel, call people to repentance and faith, and live in community.
