The Big Idea :God does not want a bunch of burned-out, stressed-out, overloaded, worn-out, children representing Him in the world. He wants us to flourish day by day, hour by hour for ourselves and for our Oikos.John 14:16-17, 26John 15:26 John 16:7-8, 13-14Acts 1:8The Spirit Gives us PowerEphesians 3:14-21Power to be:• Anchored in Christ at the soul level• Rooted in the jaw-dropping love of Christ• Completely and confidently fearless“Mark it down. The Holy Spirit comes with power. Power to make good choices, keep promises, and silence the inner voices of fear and failure. Power to get out of bed, get on with life, get busy about the right things in the right way. Power to face the unexpected, unwanted passages of time. Power. This is what Jesus promised then, and this is what Jesus promises still.” - Max LucadoThe Spirit Enables Us to be a WitnessHebrews 12:1-3Hebrews 11:32-40The Holy Spirit Equips Us for MissionJohn 20:21-23Ephesians 5:15-20RESPONSE:• I will receive Power to flourish day by day with God• I will partner with God for my Oikos• I will join a DBS for OctoberDiscovery Bible Study:• This week's passage: Acts 1:1-10• Connection Questions:1.
