Sermon – July 21, 2019



 Who Do You Follow?
For this last sermon in the series on the Works of the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts, we consider the question, “Who do you follow?”

Paul encounters believers in Ephesus and learns that they did not know the Holy Spirit and were really following John the Baptist.

Paul teaches them the things they lacked in knowledge and the men’s faith grew. The question for us is really what does it mean to be a follower of Jesus Christ? Our life in Christ is NEVER complete. We need to be continually learning and growing in our faith. You don’t just serve God for a period of time and then retire from your life as a servant of God. It is a lifelong endeavor.

Sermon – July 14, 2019



 Sometimes the Spirit Says “No.”
We learn from Paul and his companions in this passage that sometimes we encounter roadblocks to our plans and that can mean the Spirit of God has better plans for us. In this sermon we explore the following points:

  • First, a good plan is not always the right plan.
  • Second, we need humility to recognize when God says “No.”
  • Third, we need to be open to a new direction.
  • And finally, we need Perseverance to find and do God’s will.

In most cases, these steps are not quick. We may need to spend a little time waiting for direction from the Holy Spirit. We may need to be willing to admit that sometimes the Spirit says, “No,” because God has something better planned for us.
