The power of the Gospel here, there, and everywhere

ORIGINALLY STUDIED
2024-2025
The Gospel of Luke concludes with the Resurrected Jesus ascending into heaven before the eyes of His trusted friends. But, just as He was about to depart, He gave them a final Word — an assurance and a charge. “I am going to send you what my Father has promised, but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
That “power from on high” was none other than His own Spirit, Who indwells all who accept Him as Lord and Savior. And, like those original disciples, when we become believers, we are given the same authority to live out the pre-ordained plan God has for us. But, what to do next and where to go can often seem unclear.
Sometimes in order to move forward with clarity, we need to take a look back. In times of uncertainty, it is reassuring to remember that the Christian faith has deep roots. It is built on the testimonies of WITNESSES, who knew Jesus personally, interacted with Him after His resurrection, and modeled their lives on what they were taught by Him firsthand. The pioneers of our faith were ordinary people who accomplished EXTRAORDINARY things because they BELIEVED what Jesus said, and then ACTED on it.
Like us, they faced extreme political turmoil, uncontrollable mobs, protests, violent rioting, border crossings, language barriers, economic challenges, financial fraud, identity issues, sexual depravity, food shortages, racial hatred and religious persecution. And, right in the midst of all of that turmoil and terror, women’s ministry was born, prayer teams thrived, prison ministry arose, international ministries and mission trips abounded and the GOSPEL spread like wildfire.
Imagine what could happen within the Church today, if rather than dwelling on differences, believers became reunited with the INDWELLING power of the Holy Spirit to lead THE WAY forward. What if during this brief time you have on this earth, you took hold of the TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER of the Holy Spirit and allowed Him to use you in your family, your community, your city, your country, the world?
Join us as we journey back to reexamine the unstoppable Acts of the Holy Spirit unleashed on believers compelled to share the incomparable gift of Christ’s grace and salvation. They laid a strong and FIRM foundation. YOU were chosen for this time and this place - for NOW. How will you choose to ACT?
