  1. Spirit:Means THE PHBF STORY: Who We Are & What We’re About

  2. The Need for Power “…you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:5 “Behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.“ Luke 24:49 “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” Acts 1:8 Who We Are & What We’re About SPIRIT

  4. The Need for Power “…you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:5 “Behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.“ Luke 24:49 “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” Acts 1:8 Who We Are & What We’re About SPIRIT

  5. The Need for Power We must confess that just now we have not the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that we could wish. Many are being converted.  I hope that few of us are laboring unsuccessfully; but we are none of us laboring as our hearts could desire.  Oh, that I could have the Spirit of God in me, till I was filled to the brim. …It is this breath of Heaven which we want. The Spirit is blowing upon our churches now with his genial breath, but it is as a soft even- inggale. Oh, that there would come a mighty rushing wind that should carry everything before it, so that even the dry bones of the Valley of Vision might be filled with life and be made to stand up before the Lord, an exceeding great army. This is the lack of the times, the grand want of our country.  May this come as a blessing from the Most High. ~ Charles H. Spurgeon, Autobiography Who We Are & What We’re About SPIRIT

  6. The Effects of Power • The unstoppable spread of the gospel (1:8) • Boldness (2:13-14, 4:29-31) • Conviction of sin (2:37) • Public attention (2:43) • Radical self-sacrifice (2:44-46) • Joy and worship (2:46-47) Who We Are & What We’re About SPIRIT
