Unstoppable Series
Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Mar 11, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: God sent the Holy Spirit to us and into this world to transform it and His mission is unstoppable. No man can stop it, no religion can stop it, no government can stop it and no demon can stop it.
May we be like Stephen and Peter, “full of God’s grace and power,” as we live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the impossible, be unstoppable, and know that His love never fails!
INVITATION / CLOSING (From Christian Cain’s sermon)
We live in a world of unprecedented hopelessness across every sphere—economically, socially, politically, emotionally, morally, spiritually, and environmentally. Wherever you turn, there is a sense of hopelessness, and the circumstances that people face daily are overwhelming.
Not only are people being trafficked around the world, but our communities are filled with lonely, isolated people who have lost hope. Families just trying to put food on the table, single parents trying to raise their kids, people fighting sickness and disease, people grieving the loss of loved ones, families disintegrating. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by this broken world. It’s easy to make excuses. It’s easy to not do what we know we are called to do because of the challenges that come with the journey.
I believe this is the greatest hour for the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth. We were born for this moment to bring light and life and hope and liberty to a lost and broken world. This generation has immense potential. Why? Because we serve a restoring and redeeming God: a God of hope, a God of second chances, a God of new beginnings. While the world is wondering if there is hope, we are the ones with the answer: Jesus Christ. Through a relationship with Him, we have hope living on the inside of us. Through the Holy Spirit, all things are possible, and all things work together for good because we are called by God to play our part in His salvation story. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
My prayer for you is that you know there is a plan for your life and that His will, purpose, and destiny over you is unstoppable. May we be like Stephen, “full of God’s grace and power,” as we live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the impossible, be unstoppable, and know that His love never fails.
