A vision for bread: an Empowered church.
Jesus doesn't leave us with marching orders and then tell us we’re on our own. Rather, Jesus empowers his church with all the power of heaven by the gift of his Holy Spirit. We’re neither left alone, nor weak.
So, the supreme need for every Christian individual and every Christian church is to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. We all need the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the experience of the Holy Spirit, and the inclusion of the Holy Spirit for the sake of each individual Christian walk, and for the sake of our collective impact in the world.
