August 9 Sunday’s Message · Empowered Witnesses

God’s Spirit empowers God’s people.

Sunday’s message returned to the big picture of Acts: God’s Spirit empowers God’s people to expand God’s kingdom for God’s glory. Together, we considered how God equips us to practice the compassion of Jesus every day.
