Christianity is not religious, moral or philosophical advice, but good news as witnessed Jesus' disciples. The apostles were empowered by the Holy Spirit as are we. They were uneducated, ordinary men but they spoke with authority and confidence, because they had been with Jesus. You don't need an education to tell others about what you have experienced with Jesus in your life. We can witness to others through the power of the Holy Spirit in order further God's kingdom.

Living for Jesus
Sunday, 09 February 2020
by Ian Harrison
Passage: Matthew 23:1-12
Duration: 36 mins 18 secs
Jesus told the religious leaders and the listening crowds what the leaders were really like. They sat in the seat of Moses, enjoying prestige and privilege, while condemning people to hell through their hypocrisy and arrogance. He blamed them for the lost and misguided people of Israel, and laid the blood of the prophets squarely at their feet. Jesus wants us to bless others through demonstrating His love, grace, forgiveness and freedom. We need to live through God's Holy Spirit, carry the gospel, build His church and be a living sacrifice pleasing to our victorious Lord.
