Message Us!What if most of what we call church would keep running even if the Holy Spirit left the building? Acts 19 hits that nerve. We unpack Paul’s return to Ephesus, the twelve “disciples” shaped by John the Baptist, and the moment they step into the fullness of the gospel—baptized into Christ, born again by the Spirit, and empowered for mission.In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit is not the “forgotten member” of the Trinity but the living presence of God—our Comforter, Convicter, and Empowerer. Through Acts 19, we see how encountering the Spirit brings transformation, boldness, and renewal.The call for us today is to move beyond polite belief into active pursuit—to welcome the Spirit’s presence, seek His gifts, and allow Him to build up the church for God’s glory. As Paul urged in 1 Corinthians 14:1, we are to “eagerly desire spiritual gifts,” walking in step with the Spirit rather than keeping Him at arm’s length.Support the show
