Listen "The Creed | The Holy Spirit"
Episode Synopsis
Join Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey as we explore The Holy Spirit this week on The Aldersgate Experience!
In his sermon, Pastor Bob Kaylor addresses the often-overlooked role of the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity, emphasizing that while the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed touch upon the Spirit's significance, it tends to be underappreciated in Christian practice. He highlights how the Holy Spirit is integral to both the Old and New Testaments, from the creation narrative in Genesis to the empowering presence during Pentecost, when the disciples were filled with the Spirit and able to perform signs and wonders. The Spirit, according to Pastor, is essential for understanding and experiencing the daily presence of God in our lives, guiding and empowering believers to live out Christ’s teachings and engage in ministry. Pastor Kaylor challenges the modern church to rekindle a deeper reliance on the Holy Spirit, cautioning against the temptation to confine worship and ministry to mundane routines. He advocates for a more open and expectant posture towards the Spirit's working among us, urging congregants to embrace the supernatural possibilities that come with the Spirit's empowerment. By recounting personal experiences and theological insights, he invites listeners to reflect on whether they truly believe in the active power of the Holy Spirit and to consider what it could look like if we allowed that power to work freely within and through the church. The sermon culminates in a prayer for the Holy Spirit to fill the congregation, underscoring the call for transformation and renewal in faith.
