Colossians 1:3-6, 9-12 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God's people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God's grace. 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[e] 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

Discover the profound message in "Empowered by the Spirit to Testify," a captivating sermon by Pastor Neil Schori based on Acts 3:11-26. In this thought-provoking message, we are reminded not to chase after miracles alone but to seek a deeper relationship with God, who the miracles point us back to. Pastor Neil recounts the powerful testimony of Peter and John, who proclaim the life-changing power of Jesus through the miraculous healing of a lame man in Acts 3:1-10. As we journey through this inspiring passage, we gain valuable insights into the true purpose of miracles – to testify to the unmatched power and authority of Jesus Christ. Throughout the sermon, we explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to perform miracles, not for the sake of miracles themselves, but to magnify the name of Jesus. Pastor Neil Schori shares profound truths about how miracles should lead us to seek a deeper, more intimate relationship with the miracle giver Himself. In "Empowered by the Spirit to Testify," we learn that the key to experiencing God's miraculous power is to chase after Him, rather than chasing after the miracles. The Spirit's empowerment in our lives should propel us to testify to the life-transforming presence of Jesus Christ, both in our words and actions. Be inspired to live as empowered witnesses, recognizing that miracles are signs pointing to the greatness of our Savior. As you watch this sermon, prepare to be encouraged to prioritize your relationship with Jesus above all else, embracing His power and love in every aspect of your life.

John 15:1-8 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
