Power to Live!
Power to Live! Acts 2:1-13 Main Point The Spirit was poured out on Pentecost which is the "Fulfillment" of the Father’s promise, so now the Spirit will indwell and empower every disciple of Jesus to live an overcoming life! Jeremiah 31:33 Ezekiel 36:26-27 Q – are you living a Spirit-filled life? An overcoming life? *You and I need the power of the indwelling Spirit to live! Historical Context – Pentecost or feast of weeks (Deut.16:16) 1. The gift of the Spirit was given to "Indwell" every disciple of Jesus to enable us to live an overcoming life! Romans 8:9-11 The indwelling Spirit gives us real life! 2. The gift of the Spirit was given to "Empower" every disciple of Jesus so that we can live as effective witnesses of Him! v.12 ‘…What does this mean?’ Jesus’ Spirit living in us should cause people to ask this question about our lives! *Memory verse: Jesus (John 7:37-39) ‘If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. By this he meant the Spirit whom those who believed in him were later to receive.’
