In this message on partnering with the Holy Spirit, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the dramatic transformation of the disciples from fearful, self-focused men to bold witnesses empowered for global mission. We’ll explore how believers today can actively cooperate with the Spirit through earnestly desiring spiritual gifts and being filled with His power. Nate provides a comprehensive survey of biblical spiritual gifts—from teaching and exhortation to healing and prophecy—while maintaining that love must be the controlling principle for all Spirit-led ministry. Our hope is that you will be equipped to test spiritual expressions against biblical criteria while pursuing the desperate need for divine strength to face today's cultural and spiritual strongholds.
Jesus Famous is a ministry of Calvary Monterey.We long to see the fame of Christ. By fame, we mean His glory, His renown, or, to borrow from Colossians, His preeminence (Colossians 1:18). When Jesus is famous, everything changes and He becomes our passion, because His love is better than life.
When Jesus is famous in us, we love Him. We know Him and He knows us. We are captivated by His grace, His forgiveness, and His love.
When Jesus is famous among us, we grow in Him. Our motivations change in pursuit of the gospel. His Spirit transforms us into a loving community.
When Jesus is famous through us, we share Him. Jesus saturates our everyday rhythms and conversations. We are empowered to be on mission, serving those around us.
