John 2:1-11
We look forward to seeing you online with us! Feel free to chat with us in the chat box.
Lee Grady emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit in the church, illustrating how the Spirit's power is essential for growth, miracles, and revival.
Birth of the Church: Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, marking the church's birthday and empowering the early disciples to perform supernatural acts.
Elisha's Story: Elisha, mentored by Elijah, received a double portion of Elijah's spirit, symbolized by Elijah's mantle, enabling Elisha to perform miracles.
Modern Church's Struggles: Many churches today lack the Holy Spirit's power, relying instead on human ability and tradition, which hinders their growth and effectiveness.
Need for Revival: Grady calls for a return to New Testament power and revival, urging the church to embrace the Holy Spirit fully and shed dead traditions.
Historical Revivals: Grady recounts historical revivals, including the Azusa Street Revival and the Charismatic Renewal, which brought significant spiritual renewal and growth.
Call to Action: Grady encourages the congregation to seek the Holy Spirit's power, reconnect with their spiritual roots, and become instruments of revival.
