info_outlineToday, Michael Acock speaks in a new series on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. For 5 weeks, we will focus on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and try to answer why, what, who, how & when and where. The message today focuses on why do we have the gifts of the Spirit, and the reason is because our aim is love.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are released in love to the church, so that, by love we, God’s beloved, will be enabled to build up the church, heal the wounded, and witness to the world that the Kingdom of God has come and reversed the curse. This is an invitiation to the church to experience being Spirit-led and normalizing the function of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. It will need a building of trust in our hearts that God wants to give gifts and that we can trust they are good.
