Are you settling for "instant" Pentecost when God has homemade power waiting for you?
In this message, Pastor Jason Mayfield launches the "We Are Openly Spirit-Filled" series by addressing something most Pentecostal churches won't touch: the difference between authentic moves of the Holy Spirit and the convenient substitutes we've learned to accept.
From a church that literally set a fern on fire to fake revival, to the subtle ways we prioritize experience over Jesus—this sermon challenges everything you thought you knew about Spirit-filled Christianity.
In this message, you'll discover:
→ Why Simon the Sorcerer's mistake is more common than you think
→ The 3 things Jesus must be in your Pentecostal experience
→ How the bronze serpent became an idol—and what that means for us
→ The difference between a "kick in the chest" and a "tap on the shoulder"
Scripture References: Acts 8.14-24, 1 Corinthians 2.2, Numbers 21, 2 Kings 18.4, John 3, John 15.15, Isaiah 29.13, 2 Corinthians 2
Recorded live at Saraland Church at 907 Shelton Beach Rd, Saraland, AL 36571. saralandchurch.com
