Promised by Jesus and sent to the Apostles in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit has continued to faithfully empower the disciple-making mission of the Church through the ages. But what does it look like for the Spirit of God to move in power in your community today?
In this practical, humble and bible-based book, Nick and Ali Herbert share from Scripture, theology and their own stories of how they understand the Holy Spirit to be at work in the church today. Be equipped and inspired to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit, by:
- Understanding the biblical basis
- Simple, practical ways to pray and minister
- Inspiring stories of what God has done and is doing today
The church cannot grow and thrive without the power and presence of the Holy Spirit at work, who is the true builder of God's house.
