Puyallup Nazarene Church
The coming of the Holy Spirit launched the church into the world. The Spirit also placed the spotlight on Jesus. In the power of the Spirit the believers lived out a bold faith in Jesus. Our prayer....do it again in us!
Acts 3:1-16 NIV
Jesus changes lives....he is healer, redeemer, life- changer
The Spirit of Jesus awakens us to human need around us.
Stop....Look....Act
Who might the Spirit bring along your path?
The power in the name of Jesus
His name..... represents his life, death and resurrection
..... gives us his authority
..... brings his life into our present
Philippians 2:9-11 NIRV
