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.
Put People in Their Place
Ananias's remarkable story teaches us the power of perceiving others through God's eyes. He shifted from skepticism to obedience, from people-pleasing to divine alignment. Like a cloud briefly passing, Ananias's role demonstrates that changing viewpoints can lead to life-altering results. Just as he believed Saul could change, we too must believe in the transformative power of God, impacting lives through faith, obedience, and seeing people as God sees them.
