Empowered | Building Up

May 5, 2026

We will examine in this sermon how these gifts operated powerfully in the early church, not just in formal gatherings but in the everyday lives of ordinary believers. 
The Holy Spirit moved through people like Stephen, Barnabas, Agabus, and Tabitha to accomplish extraordinary things. If it's the same Spirit then as now, we can expect the same empowerment today. 
The key question isn't whether the gifts are available—it's whether we believe it and are willing to say yes to being used by God.
