"Going To" or Being Church #25

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of baptism and the Holy Spirit in our lives. The sermon delves into Acts, exploring the stories of Apollos and the disciples in Ephesus. These accounts highlight a crucial spiritual lesson: it's not enough to simply know about Jesus; we must experience the fullness of God's power through the Holy Spirit. The message challenges us to move beyond a baptism of repentance and embrace the fire of the Spirit, allowing Him to refine and empower us. We're encouraged to seek both scholarship and spiritual experience, holding them in balance as we grow in our faith. This teaching invites us to examine our own spiritual lives and ask: Have we truly experienced the Holy Spirit's power? Are we open to His gifts and willing to be transformed? It's a call to step out of our comfort zones and into a deeper, more vibrant relationship with God.
