“Spirit-filled Boldness”
Sermon by Pastor Joy Matos
SUMMARY: Spirit-filled Boldness: The Power of God Among Us
This sermon, titled “Spirit-filled Boldness” by Pastor Joy Matos, focuses on the biblical account of Peter and John healing a crippled man and their subsequent arrest and bold proclamation of Jesus. Pastor Joy uses this narrative from Acts 3 and 4 to illustrate the power of the Holy Spirit and to challenge the congregation to pursue a similar intimate relationship with God through prayer and studying the Word. The sermon emphasizes that miracles are still possible today through the Holy Spirit’s work in believers. It highlights that the early disciples were consistently filled with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to be instruments of God’s power and bring forth the Kingdom of God. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to ask, seek, and knock for the Holy Spirit* to empower them to reflect Christ’s lordship in the world.
