We finished up a series at Elevate this past Sunday about the Holy Spirit. It was a great series and I think we all learned a lot. Of course the point is not to just learn but to actually put it into action!
"For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God's power." 1 Corinthians 4:20
On that note, I highly recommend Forgotten God by Francis Chan as you continue this journey of walking in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25)
Here is a great thought at the end of the book by Francis:
"When I read the book of Acts, I see the church as an unstoppable force. Nothing could thwart what God was doing, just as Jesus foretold: "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). The church was powerful and spreading like wildfire, not because of clever planning, but by a movement of the Spirit. Riots, torture, poverty, or any other type of persecution couldn't stop it. Isn't that the type of church movement we all long to be a part of?...When I see the book of Acts, I see people privileged to play a part in what God was doing."
I love that. Now let's go live it!
