The Spirit is implanted within us, yet we are called to "receive" the Spirit. Having God's Spirit is a wonderful truth! But what if we resist the Spirit? What if we choose not to yield ourselves to the Spirit's will? The Spirit wishes to work within us, to accomplish God's will in changing us and using us. Our calling is to accept God's lead and to stop resisting the Spirit within us.

The sermon today is titled "Power: The Spirit Works In You." It is the second installment in our "This Present Strength" Series. The Scripture reading is from Romans 8:1-11.  Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on September 4, 2022.
