Acts 4:8-13

The Holy Spirit Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people!” Acts 4:8 ♦

The _____________ of God!

“And he went outside and wept bitterly.” Luke 22:62 ∗

Have you experienced _____________________?

“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit…” Acts 2:4 ∗

“Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Widows and Mature Single Ladies of DFC Good morning! We are delighted you have joined us on this first Sunday in November and are once again anticipating God’s wonderful touch. Let us begin to pray and prepare ourselves for His Presence today! I have been traveling by airplane these last few weeks to California and then back to Denver. I am still amazed by air travel. I love the takeoff and the thrill of the plane blasting into the sky. The power that will propel this huge piece of metal into the atmosphere is beyond comprehension! I am always amazed at the intelligence of man to be able to cause a huge object to fly. Man is powerful! But there is no comparison to the power of God. We find the power of God manifested in the Holy Spirit. There is nothing more powerful than a Spirit filled believer. Today, the message will reveal that our second Foundation of Faith is the infilling of the Spirit. If you have been seeking this power, the power that will propel your life from ordinary to extraordinary, you have come to the right place. Today we proclaim the Power of the Spirit filled life! I am so glad you are here!

Pastor Shawn Siegfreid

Acts 4:184:18-20 ∗

The infilling of His Spirit will __________________ you to a courageous proclaimer of His power!

“...then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.” Acts 4:10 ♦

“Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful…” This year, the snowy weather and the bad driving conditions have already begun! As we all witnessed this week, the weather in Colorado can change in the blink of an eye. Our main concern during bad weather is for your safety. In order to keep our congregation informed, we have created an “Inclement Weather Policy.” Please pick up a copy at the Reception Desk and the East & West Foyers and post it on your refrigerator. It will let you know our policies and procedures for the winter season.

When we are ________________ with the Holy Spirit, God gives us His boldness!

The Christ-__________________ life! ∗

The more we _____________ His Spirit to rule, the more we want to simply glorify Jesus.
