Preparing Our Hearts for the Promise Join us tomorrow afternoon at Covenant of Grace as we dive into one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: Preparation for the Promise. In these closing hours of the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, it's crucial that we not only preach about the Comforter's work but truly understand and receive it. Tomorrow we'll explore the vital question: Is it necessary for believers today to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Just as roses need both sunshine and rain to flourish, we as believers need both Jesus—our Son of Righteousness—and the refreshing rain of the Holy Spirit. We'll discover how salvation and sanctification, while wrought through Jesus' precious blood, are distinct from the baptism of the Holy Spirit that equips us for service and endues us with power from on high. Through Acts 1:1-8, we'll examine Jesus' final earthly instructions to His disciples: to wait for the Promise of the Father. Like soldiers who don't charge into battle without their armor, Christ didn't allow His followers to enter ministry without first receiving the supernatural empowerment of the Spirit. We'll also explore the beautiful connection between the new birth experience (John 3:3-5) and the Spirit's empowering work, understanding how both are essential for effective kingdom living and witness. Come prepared to have your heart stirred as we learn what it means to be fitted for the gift and positioned to receive God's grace in its fullness.
