The Work of the Holy Spirit

Join us as we look at how outreach can become a natural and organic overflow of our life with Christ. What we cover in this series will help us put feet to our vision to be a vibrant, transforming community where we love God, love people, and serve that all may know Jesus! We have been given great news. Let’s learn how to live it and share it with those around us!

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I’m more convinced than ever that the absolute highest value in personal evangelism is staying attuned to and cooperative with the Holy Spirit.… The only thing you need in order to sustain an effective approach to evangelism year after year is an ear fine-tuned to the prompting of the
Holy Spirit.”

Prayer Direction

Spirit of God, thank you for inviting me to be a partner with You in the glorious ministry of reaching people whose hearts are far from the Father. Help me to see you at work with sharper vision. Open my ears to hear your voice speaking at a higher volume. Move in me and through me with such power that I feel your boldness flowing freely. And where the enemy rears his ugly head and tries to keep people in his clutches and under the tyranny of his influence, work through me, in Jesus’s name, and set captives free. Amen
–Kevin Harney: Organic Outreach for Ordinary People
