Main Idea
The Holy Spirit is the Power of God in our lives
Outline
Pre-Questions
Is that an easy thing to live into in our lives?
From Previous sermons, we recognize that the Holy Spirit does many things, such as being both comforter and convictor.
Can we fully grasp what this means for us as we walk with God?
Discussion Questions
The Holy Spirit is the power to wait faithfully (vv6-7)
How does this challenge our unconscious mindset about who is in charge of my life? Does what's found in verses 6-7 provide a form of comfort to us?
The Holy Spirit is the power to witness fearlessly (v8)
With the Holy Spirit in and through you, what does it look like for you to be a witness in your Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth?
The Holy Spirit is the power to worship fully (v9)
How does the presence of the Holy Spirit empower us to worship God in spirit and in truth, and what might our worship lack without Him? (Read John 4:24)
The Holy Spirit is the power to walk firmly (vv10-11)
Read Ephesians 6:10-18, Are we the primary actors in our battle with sin and weaknesses?
Application question:
If the Holy Spirit is the power of God in your life, how should that change the way you face challenges or make decisions this week? What is prompting change?
What would change in your daily life if you truly depended on the Holy Spirit’s power rather than your own strength?
