Hope for Today Church

Part 1: Empowered to Witness through Good Works


Listen Later

All Christians are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be witnesses of Christ's loving kindness and grace. Grounded in verses like Acts 1:8 and Titus 3:4-6, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the spiritual blessings and inheritance bestowed upon believers, not by their own works but by God's mercy and grace.

The core idea revolves around the empowerment received through the Holy Spirit to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This empowerment is not merely a passive state but an active call to serve others, following the example of Jesus' humble servant leadership, as illustrated in John 13:1-20.

Through a secure foundation in Christ and reliance on the Holy Spirit, believers are encouraged to engage in intentional acts of service, both in word and deed, as a demonstration of their relationship with Jesus and as an expression of their shared empowerment. The ultimate goal is to be effective witnesses for Christ, allowing His presence within us to expand our reach and impact in the world.

Overall, the message underscores the transformative power of the gospel and the role of believers in spreading the message through their lives and actions, fueled by the Holy Spirit and anchored in the example of Jesus Christ.
