📖 Sermon Anchor Verse: 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” In this message we discover: • The Spirit desires connection, not just activity (2 Corinthians 13:14) • The Spirit guides those who listen (John 16:13) • The Spirit empowers holy living (Galatians 5:16) • The Spirit cultivates growth in those who stay attuned (Philippians 1:6; 1:9–11) We also consider the importance of guarding our hearts so we do not grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30), and how the Spirit lovingly convicts and leads us into truth (John 16:8). Closing Challenge: “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25

The Christian life is more than believing the right things — it’s living them. In Week 1 of our ACT RIGHT series, we focus on what it truly means to Abide in Christ. Jesus makes it clear in Gospel of John 15:4 that we cannot produce spiritual fruit on our own. Just like a branch must stay connected to the vine, we must stay connected to Him. 📖 Anchor Verse: Epistle to the Philippians 1:27 “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ.” When we remain in Christ, He produces in us what we could never manufacture on our own — love, joy, peace, patience, and more. If you’ve been trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, this message is a reminder: apart from Him, we can do nothing.

“For our God is a consuming fire.” — Hebrews 12:29 In a culture obsessed with hype, trends, and emotional moments, it’s easy to mistake noise for anointing. But the Church was never built on gimmicks—it was built on holy fire. In this message, we look at the difference between man-made excitement and the true fire of the Holy Spirit that transforms lives. We don’t need better production. We don’t need louder moments. We need the real, purifying, transforming fire of the Holy Spirit.

“One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.” – Psalm 145:4 Faith was never meant to stop with us. It was meant to be passed down. In this message, Generation to Generations, we explore what it looks like to intentionally build a legacy of faith that impacts not just our lives—but our children, our church, and the generations that follow.
