To kick off the Year of Making Disciples, we’re learning what a disciple is. Last week we learned that a disciple is not some sort of super Christian. A disciple is an “everyday ordinary individual” who has decided to follow Jesus. This week we learned that a disciple is “empowered by the Holy Spirit.”
Without the Holy
Spirit in our lives, you and I are like flat tires. Without the air of the
Spirit (the Greek word for “spirit” is pneuma, aka pneumatic) we’re powerless
to live well, love others, and please God. This is what the Bible calls the
“Law of sin and death” (Romans 8:1-11). However, when we turn to Jesus, God gives us
the Holy Spirit and a whole new way of living begins! If you missed Sunday’s
message you can watch it on our YouTube channel.
Yours for Christ,
Pastor Steve
