Holy Spirit (2/2): The Power Of The Spirit

6 September 2021

Title: The Power of the Spirit
Passage: Acts 6-7

Often, we ask for power from God. But what do we want His power for? How does God intend the empowered life to be?

General Questions:

1) As a Christian, how would you define a supernatural life? According to the passage in Acts 6-7, what were some ways Stephen’s life could be considered supernatural, i.e. enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Perspective Questions:

1) Clearly, Stephen led an empowered life.  Why do you think many believers today are not experiencing the power of the Spirit as much? What might be some hindrances they face? 

2) The Holy Spirit empowers us to grow to be more like Jesus, for example in calmness, boldness and graciousness. Think about your journey with God so far. What are some areas the Holy Spirit has empowered you in? Recall specific moments or incidents. What was the role that you played in your character growth then, given that empowerment comes from the Spirit?
