On Point Men’s Study: The Promise of Power

Posted January 3, 2012

Men's StudyTuesdays at 6:30 a.m., Fellowship Hall

The Promise of Power

On a mountaintop, the disciples came face to face with the resurrected Christ. Having all power and authority, He gave them a final command that would remain in place until He came again in glory: “Go and make disciples!” Yet, even with this direct command, these men were not ready. They lacked something vital. They needed the absolute power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them to go and wait for the moment when the Holy Spirit would fall upon them, fill them and empower them to live out the Great Commission to make disciples.

Our On Point study this spring is about the coming of the Holy Spirit and the unbelievable impact He had on the early church and the spread of the Gospel. It is only through the work of the Holy Spirit that God took a few untrained, unknown men and transformed history and the world. We know that the same power and presence working in the early church to revolutionize them is available and necessary to continue that work today.

Discover the great Promise of Power that changed the world…and can turn your world upside down.
