Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
In Acts 1:1-14, Jesus tells His disciples to wait for the promised Holy Spirit instead of charging ahead. Waiting humbles us, breaking our self-sufficiency. Trusting the Holy Spirit brings power to live Spirit-filled lives. Eternal results depend on obedience, surrender, and reliance on God's timing and power.
New Wine and Wineskins
As we prepare to be filled with the Holy Spirit, like new wine in fresh wineskins, we encounter a transformative journey. This message unveils the steps: making ourselves available, embracing change, taking bold faith steps, and putting others first. Just as Jesus turned water into wine, our lives can be infused with the Spirit's joy, empowerment, and the ability to bless others.
