Unstoppable: Empowered for Mission - Unstoppable

About this episode

Pete Cornford explores how the Holy Spirit empowered the early church for God's mission and how believers today can be bold witnesses of Jesus.

In this message, “Empowered for Mission” from Acts 2:1–4, Pete Cornford explores how the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost empowered the early church for God’s mission. The same Spirit who filled the disciples is still given to every believer today—not just for personal experience, but to make us bold witnesses of Jesus. As we depend on the Spirit rather than our own ability, our lives begin to overflow with the gospel. The unstoppable mission of God advances when ordinary people are filled with the Holy Spirit and step out to share Christ with the world.
