The same Spirit who brings us to life also shapes us over time. In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that the Christian life is not about earning righteousness, but about walking in step with the Spirit.

This week, we’ll explore how the Spirit forms Christlike character in us—not by willpower, but by grace. As we walk by the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit becomes visible, not as a checklist, but as evidence of a transformed life. This is about becoming what we already are in Christ.

Peter and John face opposition for proclaiming Jesus boldly, yet they remain steadfast, filled with the Spirit. Even under pressure, the early Church trusts God’s sovereign power over earthly rulers. This week, we’ll explore how God calls His people to courage, unity, and reliance on Him, showing that Christ’s reign is unshaken even when the world resists His Church.

The early Church models life together marked by devotion to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, prayer, and worship. Their unity and generosity reflect the transforming work of the Spirit in their hearts. This week, we’ll explore how God calls His people to live in authentic community, serving one another, rejoicing together, and bearing witness to Christ’s reign in the world today.

Peter stands boldly before the crowd, proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Messiah. Through the Spirit, God’s Word pierces hearts, bringing conviction, repentance, and new life. This week, we’ll see how the gospel transforms listeners into followers, forming the first community of the Church—a people called to live under Christ’s reign and empowered to bear witness to His saving work.

In our message from Acts 1:12–26, we’ll see how Jesus’ disciples readied themselves for the Holy Spirit’s promised empowerment. We’ll discover the church preparing itself through prayer, the promises of Scripture, and alignment with God’s covenant purposes. Are you readying yourself for the Spirit’s enablement?
