What if the future of the Church was placed in your hands?Pastor George Sawyer unpacks what he calls one of the most radical moments in history: Jesus entrusting the future of His Church to 11 imperfect, doubting disciples after the resurrection. And here’s the truth that should shake us. That same mission now belongs to us.Rooted in Matthew 28, this message reveals that Jesus didn’t just give a command. He gave authority. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me… therefore go.” That authority is now delegated to every believer to represent Christ in the world.But authority alone isn’t enough.Moving into Acts 1, Pastor Sawyer teaches that the Church also needs power, the Greek word dunamis, which is the supernatural ability of the Holy Spirit to bring real transformation. Without power, we drift into empty religion. With power, we become effective witnesses.From Luke 10, we see that even the early followers of Jesus exercised authority over the enemy. Yet Jesus still instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, showing us that authority must be partnered with power to fully walk in God’s purpose.This message is a wake-up call to reject powerless Christianity and step into a life marked by bold faith, spiritual authority, and Holy Spirit power. You are not here by accident. You have an assignment. And God has already given you what you need to fulfill it.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?
