No Spirit. No Reflection.

In this message, we're reminded of the vital role the Holy Spirit plays in our Christian walk. The central theme revolves around the idea that without the Spirit, we cannot truly reflect Christ. We explore Colossians 1:24-29, which reveals the 'mystery' of 'Christ in you, the hope of glory.' This indwelling of the Spirit is what empowers us to live out our faith authentically. The sermon draws an interesting parallel between our three-part being (body, mind, and spirit) and how the fall affected our spiritual nature. It emphasizes that our own strength is insufficient; only through the Spirit can we fulfill God's calling. This message challenges us to rely more on the Spirit's power in our daily lives, reminding us that our transformation and ability to witness effectively come not from our own efforts, but from the Spirit working within us.
