Anointed: The Messiah’s Mission Is Now Our Mission

Walking in the Natural and Supernatural

This Advent sermon emphasizes that believers are empowered by the same Holy Spirit that anointed Jesus Christ, not for status but for service. The message challenges the congregation to recognize that the Holy Spirit enables them to fulfill Christ's mission on earth - proclaiming good news, freeing captives, healing the blind, and comforting the mourning. The pastor stresses that walking with the Holy Spirit isn't just about supernatural manifestations like prophecy and miracles, but primarily about being empowered in everyday, natural life circumstances. Christians are called to be extensions of Christ's work, bringing light, peace, and truth wherever they go. The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship requires daily walking with the Spirit, mastering one's soul, and focusing on the Spirit's perspective rather than external circumstances. Victory comes not from obsessing over external challenges but from cultivating intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit who dwells within believers.
