What does it mean to walk in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. These two experiences happen hand in hand and the early church had this experience which led to multiplication. How do we get filled with the Holy Spirit? What is keeping us from it. Gal 3:2 tells us that we cannot earn the gifts of the Spirit, but rather by faith. Pastor David challenges us to take our eyes off of the gift and instead keep our eyes on the Giver of the gifts.

Pastor David Halan takes us on a journey with the apostle Paul as he went through a transformation all for what God had in store for him, preparation for service. We learn that God's preparation in each of our lives for service includes: 1) Staying, 2) Training, 3) Testing, 4) Trusting, and 5) Waiting. We find out that "Preparation of our maturity and our character is a loving and intimate work of our Heavenly Father with no shortcuts in the process."

Pastor David takes us through a look at 3 aspects of Philips life: 1) His Spiritual Life, 2) His Family Life, and 3) His Private Life. As we look at Philip's spiritual life, we learn that he was: 1) a disciple, 2) a servant, 3) was gifted (by the Holy Spirit), and 4) was an evangelist. We also learn that Philip was willing to go anywhere, did exactly what God told him to do, obeyed quickly, looked for common ground - tactfully, and preached Jesus to the lost. Pastor David ties it all together at the end as he examines Philips willingness to forgive and faithfulness. All this and more about an amazing man we can all learn a lot from.
