Got Power Lesson Three

The first two lessons in the Got Power Series has been bread from heaven. So, what's next? In the third part of this series God will opens our eyes to the enormous power that Jesus enjoyed while here on earth...The same power is available to us?

The ancient Greek's definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence. Naguib Mahfouz is quoted as saying, "Happy is he who can give himself up." Jesus used His power in complete excellence and in full power gave Himself up for us! If we have access to the same power and are not doing the same, than we are guilty of the misused of power.

Join us as we learn more about this power—the third person in the trinity—the Holy Spirit. Learning more about His working in Jesus' life; will empower us to live in excellence and to give ourselves up to the greater good—the divine will of God for our life. Background scripture reading for the third lesson is: Luke 1 & 4, John 14. Hope to see you in the house.
