Acts 2

“The Spirit wants to use us, and the way people are converted isn't by someone standing up and yelling at them for the most part. It happens sometimes. But it's usually when all of us talk to our close friends and they start to see the life that is happening in our community and ourselves and the message starts spreading. The Spirit is contagious. If someone meets the Spirit they're either gonna fall in love and fall at his feet and hold onto his feet or they're gonna yell and scream and run out the doors. The Spirit's that powerful. I hope that no one in this church ever forgets that we are called to bring the light of Christ to our circles of influence. If the Holy Spirit's entered us, we must expect that He's going to use us to bring the Gospel into the lives of those that we least suspect. … This is the testimony of the church.”
