Strength - Part 3

All Nations Church, Tallahassee Florida - Pastor Steve Dow - Sermons, Teaching and Inspiration - Reaching All People by All Means With the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Jesus told the disciples to stay in Jerusalem until the promise of the Father was fulfilled. That promise was “power from on high.” Luke 24:49 Jesus reiterated this command and promise in Acts 1:8. Holy Spirit gives us power to bring the strength to accomplish His plans. Three significant truths about His coming: 1. Holy Spirit has been poured out and promised to all believers. Holy Spirit wasn’t just with believers, He took up residence in them. Acts 2:38 makes the promise of His power available to all who believe. The outpouring of Holy Spirit on Pentecost was the fulfillment of Jesus promise in John 14:16-17. Today, too many are involved with Christianity, but few are committed to the cause of Christ which is reaching the world with the Gospel. 2. God’s plan is to spread the Gospel to all nations through the church. Matthew 16:18 Ephesians 3:10 Matthew 24:14 Acts 1:8 Ever since the birth of the church in Acts 2, the church’s mandate is to gather, grow, give and go with the Gospel! 3. All believers should be impowered to be witnesses of Christ. The outpouring of Holy Spirit was not so believers could have an experience for self-edification but that all believers would be empowered to live on mission by telling His story! Power to witness only comes from Holy Spirit. Salvation of the world is the reason for the outpouring of Holy Spirit. Everything He does is to empower believers to have the strength to be His witnesses. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally
