What happens when the heat is on… but the vent is blocked?
In this message, we look at how many followers of Jesus have embraced faith for eternity—but unknowingly blocked the flow of God’s Spirit in their everyday lives. We believe the message of Christ, but too often we stop short of living on mission for Christ.
Through the story of Lydia in Acts 16, we see what it looks like to fully open ourselves to God’s work. Lydia didn’t just believe—she opened her heart, her home, and her resources, allowing God’s mission to move through her and impact generations beyond her own life.
From ancient Philippi to modern-day Ecuador, this message reminds us that when we remove the blocks—mental, spiritual, or practical—God’s Spirit flows, the mission continues, and lives are changed.
Maybe God is calling you to open your heart.
Maybe He’s asking you to open your home.
Maybe He’s inviting you to open your resources.
Whatever it is, don’t block what God wants to do in and through you.
