Power Changes People
What happens when the power of God truly encounters people?
In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit disrupted expectations, pointed people toward Jesus, and transformed a gathering of strangers into a devoted community of believers. The same chapter challenges us to examine how we respond when God moves outside our comfort, preferences, or previous experience.
In this message, Pastor Nate Schaefer explores three truths from Acts 2:
• God’s power disrupts our expectations
• God’s power points people to Jesus
• God’s power produces transformation
Discernment matters, but discernment is not the same as cynicism. It is possible to become so afraid of something false that we become resistant to something real.
A genuine move of the Holy Spirit will not make celebrities out of people or build personal platforms. It will glorify Jesus, lead people toward repentance, and produce lasting transformation.
The evidence of God’s power is not only what we experience—it is who we become.
Before asking God to change our city, schools, families, or the next generation, perhaps our prayer should be:
“Lord, start with me.”
Don’t just pray for God to move. Make room for him to change you.
