Everything begins and ends with Jesus. A Spirit-filled church exalts Christ above culture, personality, and programs.
Colossians 1:18 “And He is the head of the body, the church… so that in everything He might have the supremacy.”
2. The Holy Spirit
A Spirit-filled church depends on the Holy Spirit for guidance, power, and transformation—not just programs or personalities.
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…”
3. The Word of God
The Bible is the final authority. Spirit-filled does not mean Scripture-light. It means Word and Spirit together.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…”
4. A Lifestyle of Worship
True worship flows from a surrendered heart. Spirit-filled churches are marked by passionate, Spirit-led worship. Jesus is deserving of all our worship. When we praise Him, our faith grows stronger. By giving generously, we help to expand His Kingdom.
John 4:24 “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
5. Prayer and Intercession
Prayer isn’t a side dish—it’s the engine room. Spirit-filled churches are praying churches, hosting God’s presence through constant communion.
Acts 2:42 “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
6. Evangelism and Mission
The Holy Spirit empowers us to reach the lost. A Spirit-filled church has a burden for souls and a commitment to the Great Commission.
Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
7. Embracing Our Community
The evidence of the Spirit isn’t just gifts—it’s love. Spirit-filled churches pursue deep, authentic relationships across generations and cultures.
Ephesians 4:3 “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
