He Promised Power!

Welcome to this special Pentecostal Sunday sermon with Pastor Ben Bonner. In today's message, we take a deeper look into the transformative power of the Holy Spirit as described in the Book of Acts. 

 

Sermon Notes: 

”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. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ‭‭Acts ‭1‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬


”When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.“ Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
