Spirit Driven Church

Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord. Acts 9:31

Purpose is good for the church and your life.  Servanthood is good.  Relationships are good.  Evangelism is good.  Revival and renewal is good.  Discipleship is good.  Without the power of the Holy Spirit of God good things will not reach their potential.  The Holy Spirit is the catalyst to move the community of Christ, the church, into greatness by fulfillment of God’s sovereign purpose, his good and perfect will.  This is accomplished by God moving through a:

Spirit Driven Church – A body of believers at peace and one in Christ, obeying and actively responding to the counsel and teaching of the Holy Spirit—experiencing and driven by the Holy Spirit of God moving through them.  As the church acts in the power of the Holy Spirit, the story of truth and hope in Christ comes to the hopeless; and, in turn, healing, wonders, miracles, and signs reveal the love, power, glory, and salvation of Christ.  A Spirit empowered church—Spirit Driven Church—is enabled to fulfill Christ’s command to love one another (John 13:24) and to accomplish Christ’s commission to make, baptize, and guide disciples to obey Christ’s teachings (Matt 28:18-20).
