About this sermon

1/29/2023 Some Christians feel powerless—struggling to have victory over sin, unable to be bold in their witness, tired of running the race, wondering if there is more to the Christian life than just biding their time until Jesus returns. Maybe this describes you, and maybe it’s all because there is an absence of God’s power without the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Join Pastor Gary as he teaches from Acts 1 about the person and power of the Holy Spirit available to all Believers, and learn what it means to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. 00:00 - Introduction 00:09 - Overview of The Book of Luke 00:20 - Writer: Luke (only Gentile writer of the Bible) 00:39 - In some ways, Acts is a continuation of Luke’s gospel; it’s the sequel 00:45 - Luke was a physician (Col. 4:14) and he became a traveling companion of Paul 01:55 - Written sometime between 60-69 A.D. 01:59 - Acts and the Gospel of Luke both addressed to Theophilus ("lover of God") 03:37 - Ideally this book could be called “Acts of Jesus through the Apostles” 09:51 - Acts 1:8 19:46 - 3 Things about who the Holy Spirit is 19:59 - 1) The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity; one God who reveals Himself in a plurality of three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26,27) 21:15 - 2) The Holy Spirit has always existed being co-equal and co-eternal with God because He is God (Gen. 1:2) 22:01 - 3) The Holy Spirit is not an “it” or just a “force”; He has all the attributes of personality: Mind (1 Cor. 2:11); Will (1 Cor. 12:11); and Emotion (Eph. 4:30) 23:25 - How do you get the Holy Spirit and the power that comes with the Holy Spirit? 24:30 - John 14:16-17 25:20 - Greek word for “with, near, around” 27:24 - Greek word for “in” 32:55 - Greek word for “Upon” ABOUT US: https://cornerstonechapel.net/hello GROW: If you made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior text "I have decided" to (703)844-9969.
