In today's gathering, we explored the profound presence of Jesus among us, emphasizing that His spirit is alive and active, even if we cannot see Him physically. This place is a sanctuary for those yearning for a spiritual awakening, a place where the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is anticipated and welcomed. We are called to be conduits of His miracle signs and wonders, just as He performed in the New Testament and continues to do today. Our mission is to be a beacon for the generations seeking authenticity and power in their spiritual journey.
We delved into the life mission of Jesus, which was to restore our relationship with God, broken by sin. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection paved the way for us to connect with the Father without the need for perfection. He commissioned us to spread His teachings, baptizing and instructing others in the way of life He exemplified. This commission is not just for the apostles of old but for us today, as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.
The sermon also highlighted the importance of staying connected to Jesus, the vine, to ensure an abundant harvest in our spiritual lives. We are reminded that our role is not to force others to accept Jesus but to provide opportunities for them to encounter Him. Our personal testimonies of transformation and healing are powerful tools in this mission. We are encouraged to share these stories, as they connect hearts and change lives.
As we move forward, we are challenged to embrace our calling with courage, knowing that we are made in the image of God, empowered and anointed to reflect His love and truth. We are to walk authentically, expecting to change the atmosphere wherever we go, as we carry the Holy Spirit within us.
