There’s a difference between knowing about Jesus and actually walking with Him in power. This message from Pastor George Sawyer is an invitation to stop standing still in your faith and start stepping into everything God has already made available to you.

In Next Steps, Pastor Sawyer takes us into the Upper Room in John , a moment filled with urgency, emotion, and promise. Jesus is preparing His disciples for what’s coming, and instead of leaving them empty, He gives them something greater.

This message brings clarity to what it actually means to follow Jesus in the New Testament. It’s not about routine religion or occasional inspiration, it’s about being filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit daily. From creation to salvation, from Acts 1 to today, we see the same truth: God’s Spirit transforms everything He touches.

Pastor Sawyer challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and surrender every part of our lives to the Holy Spirit. Because partial surrender leads to partial power, but full surrender unlocks everything.

If you’ve been asking, “What’s my next step?” this message will point you directly to it.
