Holy Spirit - Part 11 by Pastor Mike Jenkins

The Power of the Great Commission: Go and Make Disciples In this installment of the "Holy Spirit" series, Pastor Mike Jenkins examines the foundational work of the Spirit as chronicled in the Book of Acts. Written by the physician Luke, Acts serves as the history of the early church and a roadmap for today's believers. Pastor Mike addresses core theological questions and practical applications for our modern walk: -- The Holy Spirit is God, equally so with the Father and the Son, and is not a feeling, a wisp of smoke, or an impersonal "it." -- The purpose of the Book of Acts was to document the growth of the New Testament Church following Jesus’ ascension, demonstrating the successful implementation of His teachings. -- The Great Commission is the unstoppable, biblical command given by Jesus to His followers, backed by all authority in heaven and on earth. -- The central task is to make disciples, not just to evangelize, as discipleship ensures new believers know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to defend their faith. -- The realization that the Holy Spirit is resident in you should profoundly change the way you live, act, and view your life. -- Fellowship is vital; the physical presence, handshake, and godly hug among believers provides necessary edification, strength, and love that technology cannot replicate.
