They were empowered to heal (Acts 3:1-10) v. They were empowered with the ability to witness with amazing success 3. The power of the Holy Spirit was not a quiet event at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) 4. Many were saved because of the power of the Holy Spirit II. You will minister in ever-increasing influence a. The disciples were powerful in witness only through the Holy Spirit i.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit Series: Bold Witness Date: May 12, 2019 Scripture: Acts 1:1-9 Big Idea: To be bold and effective in your witness wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit to fill you. Introduction Jesus’ last words: “Its all about me” (1-11) “Wait for what my Father promised” (4) What did He promise? He promised that a new comforter would come He promised that the Holy Spirit would remind and teach everything that Jesus already did He promised that that we would be baptized by the Holy Spirit Why did Christ know they needed this? The church exploded in growth They were put in tremendous leadership pressure They would be persecuted Why did Jesus ask them to wait? Perhaps because He knew the value of resting, praying, and anticipating Perhaps He knew His disciples habit of planning, preparing and pushing ahead Perhaps He knew that what was about to happen in 10 days was going to rock their world!— “I will baptize you with the Holy Spirit” (5) Why does God gift us with the Holy Spirit? To give assurance of acceptance by God (Acts 15:8) To convict the world of sin (Acts 2:37) To provide spiritual gifts (I Cor. 12) To work miracles, signs and wonders (Rom. 15:18-19) To give boldness in preaching and witnessing (Acts. 1:8) To cultivate the fruit of the Spirit (Rom. 14:17) To sanctify the believer (II Thes. 2:13) Jesus knew the disciples needed this new relationship with the Holy Spirit The disciples would come into a new and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit The disciples would be cleansed and purified by the Holy Spirit The disciples would become more effective in ministry “Focus on what you know, not on what you don’t” (6) Focus on God’s priorities, not yours Focus on what you understand, not what you don’t Conclusion

James 1:1-8 Introduction Pastor Phil Ballmaier 10-19-16 The James who wrote the epistle that bears his name is regarded by most, if not all evangelicals, to be James the half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ. James was not a follower of Jesus during His earthly ministry but became a believer after His resurrection. James went on to become the lead pastor of the church in Jerusalem. He was the one who made the deciding speech at the Jerusalem Council (15:13–22), and Paul called James one of the pillars of the church (Galatians 2:9). The Book of James challenges us to walk in faith and obedience as doers of the Word and not hearers only. It is a radical call to commitment for those who are followers of Jesus Christ. Calvary Chapel Elk Grove is a non-denominational fellowship located in Elk Grove Village, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Illinois, led by our Senior Pastor, Phil Ballmaier. Our primary mission is to teach God's Word in its' entirety, verse-by-verse, precept upon precept. We believe that the Word of God is living and powerful, and because of Jesus' work on the Cross, He can and does move in the lives of His people. For more information, call us at 1.847.895.3545.
