Thanks for joining us today!

Jesus told His disciples “it is to your advantage that I go away…” because doing so allowed for the coming of the Holy Spirit. We are not to merely exist as passive believers waiting for the return of Jesus. Instead, as Christ-followers we are “Empowered” by the Spirit, enabling us to live a life characterized by boldness, unity, and unwavering faith in order to bring the transformative love and life of Jesus Christ to the world around us.

Since we are not GOD it can be easy at times to wander from HIS wholly holy example. Yet HE lives inside us and HIS HOLY SPIRIT reminds us to honor HIM with our lives. With loving discipline, HE calls us back to holiness and away from our flesh, the world and the devil. Through the HOLY SPIRIT we are Empowered to live holy lives.  

Discussion Questions -

As GOD's chosen people why do we have to be reminded to be holy so often?

Please re-read Acts 4:32 - 5:11 

What was Ananias and Sapphira's sin? What are some contributing factors to their actions?

Please re-read 1 Corinthians 10:6-15

What can you and I learn from the sinful examples of others (and even our own sin) who have gone before us?

What role does the enemy play in GOD's church's sinning?

How can we overcome the enemy?

Please pray for each other as the HOLY SPIRIT leads you
