Before Jesus ascends back to heaven, he tells his followers that they must be "His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth." In other words, they need to be his witnesses everywhere they go. These instructions are meant for every generation of Jesus followers ever since. But we can't possibly be His witnesses by our own strength. Well, Jesus had a solution to that.
Join us as we wrap up the 3-week sermon series, The Holy Spirit, this Sunday with the message "Spiritual Gifts."
