The Holy Spirit: Empowered Witness

In this powerful sermon, we explore the Holy Spirit’s role as God’s empowering presence, given to set believers apart as bold witnesses for Jesus. Drawing from Acts 1:7-8, we learn that the Spirit’s fire, first seen at Mount Sinai and fulfilled at Pentecost, calls us to bring a harvest of souls—both Jews and Gentiles—to God. Being a witness isn’t just about kind words or Christian symbols; it’s a radical call to live differently, often in uncomfortable situations, as seen in the lives of Jesus, Gideon, and the early church. The sermon challenges the American Church to move beyond comfort, embrace the Spirit’s leading, and transform the world, just as 120 Spirit-empowered believers did at Pentecost.
