Holy Spirit: The Power of the Church (Part 1)
Description:
📖 Acts 1:8 – "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
The church was never meant to be powerless! From the very beginning, Jesus made it clear that His church would not function by human strength or intellect but by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
🚀 Are you ready to walk in boldness, authority, and supernatural power? In today's sermon, Pastor Johnny Olivardia dives deep into why the church must return to the source of its strength—Holy Spirit!
