The Power of the Holy Spirit | Acts 1 | Gary Hamrick

1/29/2023
Some Christians feel powerless—struggling to have victory over sin, unable to be bold in their witness, tired of running the race, wondering if there is more to the Christian life than just biding their time until Jesus returns. Maybe this describes you, and maybe it’s all because there is an absence of God’s power without the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Join Pastor Gary as he teaches from Acts 1 about the person and power of the Holy Spirit available to all Believers, and learn what it means to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

00:00 - Introduction
00:09 - Overview of The Book of Luke
00:20 - Writer: Luke (only Gentile writer of the Bible)
00:39 - In some ways, Acts is a continuation of Luke’s gospel; it’s the sequel
00:45 - Luke was a physician (Col. 4:14) and he became a traveling companion of Paul
01:55 - Written sometime between 60-69 A.D.
01:59 - Acts and the Gospel of Luke both addressed to Theophilus ("lover of God")
03:37 - Ideally this book could be called “Acts of Jesus through the Apostles”
09:51 - Acts 1:8
19:46 - 3 Things about who the Holy Spirit is
19:59 - 1) The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity; one God who reveals Himself in a plurality of three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26,27)
21:15 - 2) The Holy Spirit has always existed being co-equal and co-eternal with God because He is God (Gen. 1:2)
22:01 - 3) The Holy Spirit is not an “it” or just a “force”; He has all the attributes of personality: Mind (1 Cor. 2:11); Will (1 Cor. 12:11); and Emotion (Eph. 4:30)
23:25 - How do you get the Holy Spirit and the power that comes with the Holy Spirit?
24:30 - John 14:16-17
25:20 - Greek word for “with, near, around”
27:24 - Greek word for “in”
32:55 - Greek word for “Upon”

Thank You. I have asked my Father for the Holy Spirit to give me power to be a witness, many times. Sometimes He needs to work on His Children first. Thank you for this clear teaching. I pray for the church I attend as well because we all lack power.

Fantastic sermon...lord fill me with your spirit...in Jesus' name- Amen!

[paullee]

Simply in awe of the word of God every time I hear it. Especially when Pastor Gary explains certain terminology as to what it actually meant in the original text, in this case the Greek language, the word comes alive truly and makes everything so clear in my mind. I pray for your ministry Cornerstone Church. Hallelujah.

[sharonboggess]

Pastor Gary has been called by God to preach. I listen to Pastor Gary for hours practically every day. The more I listen to him, the more the Holy Spirit uses his messages to change me. I am more sensitive and cognitive about what I need to let go of in my life and what I need to add. I feel stronger to face each day's challenges. Pastor Gary's messages help me put on the armor of God. This is something I must do daily.
