E14 Faith not Fear

Hosting the Holy Spirit - Wk 2

In each of the gospel writer’s accounts, Jesus gives his fearful unbelieving band of disciples a crazy, big, audacious mission! Jesus did not coddle them, He commissioned them! He spoke destiny to them. He challenged them. He believed in them in spite of their weakness and immaturity. He tells them to go into all nations to make disciples! "Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 5 John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1:4-5 NLT

E13 Our Greatest Privilege - Most Neglected Responsibility

Hosting the Holy Spirit - Week 1

It is time to get serious about hosting the Holy Spirit! And while we love and honor the written Word of God, the Scriptures were never meant to replace a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Torrey
