His Passion, Our Power

How Christ Gives Life to the Church

Passion: the suffering and death of Jesus

Power: strength; a source or means of supplying energy

The night before Jesus was arrested, his first twelve disciples fought for position, slept through prayer, and cowered in fear. But just a few weeks later, they were preaching to thousands, standing up to persecution, and growing daily. The events of those weeks between changed everything.

Join us starting March 7 as we trace those transformative events from the suffering of the Son to the sending of the Spirit in Luke and Acts.

As we journey from Good Friday to Pentecost, we’ll see not only how Christ transformed them, but how he continues to give life to his church today by the Holy Spirit.
