What does it really mean to say, “I believe…”?
In this message from our I Believe series, we explore what it means to confess faith in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) Church, the communion of saints, and the forgiveness of sins. Looking at Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 and the transformation of Peter at Pentecost, we see how the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in and empowers believers today.
This sermon reminds us that the Church is not a building but a Spirit-filled people—global, eternal, and united in Christ. We are not called to live the Christian life in our own strength. The Holy Spirit is with us, in us, and upon us—giving power, producing love, and pointing us to Jesus.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to follow God on empty, this message is a reminder: you were never meant to do it alone. The Spirit still transforms cowards into courageous witnesses. He still builds His Church. And through Jesus, forgiveness is offered fully, forever, and freely.
