The Purpose of the Church and the Holy Spirit
09/17/2017
What happened after Jesus died on the Cross? We know that Jesus rose again three days later, but what about his disciples? We know that after the risen Jesus appeared to them and were given a mission they would own for the for the rest of their lives. However, in order for the mission to be successful, it needed something. It needed power. It needed something that only God could provide and it was what Jesus had promised them and us; the presence of God Himself, God the Holy Spirit.
Identity and Purpose

Who we are determines what we do. A salesman sells, a doctor cares for patients, a football player plays football. We can immediately determine what a person does based on who they are. So, let’s pose a question to wrestle with this week: what does a Christian do? They carry on the mission of Jesus.
Keeping the Movement Alive

There have been significant movements throughout history, but there isn’t a movement that stands in comparison to the movement of God. It began with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, and continues to this day through His church as it is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
