Join Pastor Allen Bonnell as he delivers a powerful message on the book of Acts, titled “The Fullness of the Spirit.” Beginning with a compelling testimony from a church member, Pastor Allen uses the story of Brian to illustrate that true salvation leads to a transformed life and a new understanding of God’s Word. He then addresses the question of living in the “end times,” assuring us that in our waiting, we are not left without a Helper and a Counselor—the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Allen dives into Acts chapter 2 to explain the significance of Pentecost. He clarifies that this was not when the Holy Spirit first came into existence, but when He began to dwell permanently within believers. This is a critical distinction, as the Christian worldview teaches that the problem is internal, and the solution, the Holy Spirit, comes from an external source—heaven. He explains that the Holy Spirit’s presence is our “birth certificate” and “guarantee” of salvation, identifying us as children of God.
The sermon concludes with a powerful reminder that the hope of the gospel is for all people, transcending language and culture, a reversal of the Tower of Babel. Pastor Allen challenges listeners to recognize that the true miracle is not signs and wonders, but a life resurrected from spiritual death. He invites all to repent and be baptized, to receive the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
