One of the biggest motivations that the Holy Spirit gives to Christian believers is a desire to get closer to God. To know Him more and to know His plan and purpose so that the Holy Spirit can move us out into the world to tell others about the love, joy, peace, and redemption found in and through His Son Jesus Christ. What we may feel at one given moment is not how the Holy Spirit operates. He is the motivator that is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is constant while our emotions may change.
Did you know that the Holy Spirit is given to believers to transform them, remind them, encourage them, and provide the zeal and confidence to live out the Christian walk in a weary wondering world? It is He that convicts the world of sin so that all may know of the power of the resurrection through Jesus Christ. The Spirit is not a force, it is not a way of thinking, and it is not self-ambition. The Spirit is a gift of God through Jesus Christ left with us and in us to bring our light into a dark world.
Today is Pentecost, a celebration of the Holy Spirit coming and the birth of the Church. Let us be reminded that we are called out in service to God's plan. It is only by and through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can go and make disciples. Join us for worship as we discover what it means to be Empowered by the Spirit.
