Calvary with Pastor George Sawyer

Messengers Part 3


Listen Later

Two questions echo through our culture today: Who am I? and Why am I here?In Messengers Part 3, Pastor George Sawyer continues the Messengers series by answering those questions through the truth of 2 Corinthians 5. Scripture reveals that anyone who belongs to Christ becomes a new creation, reconciled to God and entrusted with a powerful assignment: to live as Christ’s ambassadors carrying the message of reconciliation to the world.This message reminds us that Christianity was never meant to be private or passive. There is no Plan B for sharing the Gospel. God’s plan has always been His people living and proclaiming the message of reconciliation through both their words and their lifestyle.When believers seek God through Scripture, prayer, and fellowship, a spiritual cause-and-effect begins to unfold. God moves. Lives are changed. Miracles happen. People are drawn to Jesus.When the Church walks in the Spirit, love becomes visible, joy becomes contagious, and people begin to encounter Jesus through the lives of His messengers.If you want to understand your identity in Christ, experience the power of the Holy Spirit, and live a life that naturally draws people to Jesus, this message will inspire and challenge you.00:00 The Culture’s Biggest Identity Questions02:33 Reading the Foundational Scripture (2 Corinthians 5)04:36 Understanding the Message of Reconciliation06:01 The Purpose of an Ambassador for Christ08:12 Witnessing Through Lifestyle and Example09:57 The Power of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives13:13 Pentecost and the Outpouring of the Spirit15:24 The Early Church After Revival (Acts 2)20:12 The Cause-and-Effect Pattern of Faith22:33 Staying Focused on the Mission23:39 A Prayer for Fresh Filling of the Spirit24:09 Living as Everyday Messengers25:06 Joy That Comes From God’s Presence26:23 Loving God and Loving People27:37 Finding Your Identity in Christ30:23 Living by the Spirit (Galatians 5)33:45 The Works of the Sinful Nature36:43 The Fruit of the Spirit That Grows Naturally39:08 A Vision for a Spirit-Filled Church40:24 Surrender and Closing PrayerDigital 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?
