Opportunity - Week 3 (God's Design)

The podcast explores God's design for the church, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's essential role in making the church distinct through truth, love, and the presence of God. It challenges the minimization of the Holy Spirit's role, arguing that the Spirit empowers believers and guides the church. Referencing Matthew 5, the speakers discuss how the church can lose its "saltiness" by ceasing to acknowledge God and His presence. They advocate for seeking God's will through prayer and worship, rather than relying solely on human understanding, using Acts 2 and 13 as examples of the Spirit-led early church. Practical steps for pursuing the Holy Spirit include remembering the gospel, correcting motivations, and overcoming past experiences that hinder embracing the Spirit.
