05.18.2025 | Let's Get Clear on the Holy Spirit | Part 2: The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit | Pastor Jeff Wickwire In his sermon, Pastor Jeff Wickwire emphasizes the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit as a person and a part of the Godhead, rather than a mere force or mist. He explains the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, describing the process of regeneration as an instantaneous act of becoming a new creation in Christ, and renewal as a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Pastor Jeff illustrates how this renewal process involves a change in thought patterns and behaviors through the daily engagement with Scripture and the presence of God. He encourages the congregation to recognize the necessity of the Holy Spirit in their Christian journey, highlighting that true transformation comes from being filled and guided by Him.

We know that quiet is an essential aspect of the spiritual life, that we need to leave the craziness of our hurried and frenzied lives and find the deep peace of being in God's presence. But in our busy lives of deadlines and distractions, of screens at work and at play, this seems abstract and impossible.David Loughney and Bob Robinson welcomes Sarah Clarkson to the podcast. She writes regularly about literature, faith, and beauty. Check out her Substack, From the Vicarge, where she writes about “suffering and beauty, theodicy and theology, imagination and the luminous grace of real, disciplined wonder.” Her latest book is Reclaiming Quiet: Cultivating a Life of Holy Attention (Baker, 2024). In it, she tells her story of trying to overcome anxiety and hurry by cultivating a life of holy attention, an inner quiet of paying attention to God in the everyday aspects of life.Scroll down to learn more about Sarah Clarkson.Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite app:Thanks for listening!Please share this podcast with your friends.

The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit by Alpha and Omega Christian Fellowship "Weekly Sermon"

Our continuing sermon series on the book of Romans.

This week, we'll be exploring a third case study of inward-based righteousness: the power of our words.  We'll look at the historical significance of oaths and how Jesus takes the law one step deeper. 

The Holy Spirit is not just a gift for the beginning of our journey. He is the One who carries us, fills us, and empowers us to live the life God has called us to.

Today's message reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not confined to one day of celebration, but is an ongoing source of strength, victory, and hope in our everyday lives.Pastor George Sawyer draws from Scripture and real-life experiences to encourage us to carry the power of the resurrection into every area of life. Through stories of the disciples and the peace Jesus brings, we are challenged to conquer fear, overcome challenges, and trust in Christ in the midst of adversity.

Easter 2025 The Transforming Power of the Resurrection John 20 1 29

Following our own path or hoping in worldly things will always fail, but when our faith is in Jesus' resurrection, we no longer fear being good enough to face God's judgment. Our sins are forgiven and Jesus' righteousness is imputed to us. When we encounter and believe in the risen Christ, we experience the joy of transformed lives and eternal hope.

Transforming PowerWhen we look at the life of Paul and his passion to spread the gospel of Christ, we see a significant change of heart. He was willing to give everything for the sake of furthering its message. It is that same power—the power of the Gospel—that transforms the hearts of all who believe.

Jon Buck's Sermon on 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, from March 23, 2025.

In the message given by Nicky, the wife of one of our Elders, she shared from the Word of God and combined that with personal testimony. We heard how God can take someone easily broken ‘like a reed', and make them strong, ‘like a rock'. Of course this was the case of Peter, who was also known as Simon Peter.

Read Online“The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.”  Matthew 9:15 Our appetites and fleshly desires can easily cloud our thinking and keep us from desiring only God and His holy will. Therefore, in order to curb one's disordered appetites, it is useful to mortify them by acts of self-denial, such as fasting. But during Jesus' public ministry, when He was daily with His disciples, it appears that self-denial was unnecessary for His disciples. One can only speculate that this was because Jesus was so intimately present to them every day that His divine presence sufficed to curb any and every disordered affection.But the day did come when Jesus was taken away from them—first by His death, and then shortly after by His Ascension into Heaven. After the Ascension and Pentecost, Jesus' relationship with His disciples changed. It was no longer a tangible and physical presence. It was no longer a daily dose of authoritative teaching and inspiring miracles that they saw. Instead, their relationship with our Lord began to take on a new dimension of conformity to Jesus' Passion. The disciples were now being called to imitate our Lord by turning their eyes of faith to Him interiorly, and exteriorly acting as His instrument of sacrificial love. And for that reason, the disciples needed their passions and fleshly appetites under control. Hence, after Jesus' Ascension and with the beginning of the disciples' public ministry, they greatly benefitted from fasting and all other forms of mortification.Each one of us is called to be not only a follower of Christ (a disciple) but also an instrument of Christ (an apostle). And if we are to fulfill these roles well, our disordered fleshly appetites cannot get in the way. We need to allow the Spirit of God to consume us and lead us in all that we do. Fasting and all other forms of mortification help us to stay focused upon the Spirit rather than upon our weaknesses and fleshly temptations. Reflect, today, upon the importance of fasting and mortification of the flesh. These penitential acts are not usually desirable at first. But that's the key. By doing that which our flesh does not “desire,” we strengthen our spirit to take greater control, which enables our Lord to use us and direct our actions more effectively. Commit yourself to this holy practice and you will be amazed at how transforming it will be. My dear Lord, I thank You for choosing to use me as Your instrument. I thank You that I may be sent by You to share Your love with the world. Give me the grace to conform myself more fully to You by mortifying my disordered appetites and desires so that You and You alone can take complete control of my life. May I be open to the gift of fasting and may this penitential act help to transform my life. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Pixabay.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
