ALIGNMENT MATTERS | EMPOWERED WEEK 3 | PASTOR DAVID PAYNE

In this powerful message from the Empowered series, Pastor David teaches how to live a Spirit-led life by aligning ourselves with the movement of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 19:1–2 and Acts 1:8, he reminds us that empowerment isn’t just about knowing about God—it’s about being filled with His presence. Just as a sailboat must be positioned to capture the wind, our hearts must be positioned to receive the power of the Spirit so that He can propel us forward rather than pass us by.

Through this teaching, you’ll discover that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to boldly declare Jesus in a world that often resists truth. Pastor David unpacks how the Spirit gives courage to witness, teaches us to walk faithfully with Christ, and helps us remember the words and promises of God (John 14:25–26). You’ll be challenged to go beyond comfort and step into confidence—proclaiming Jesus with clarity, conviction, and love.

The message also explores the incredible truth of Ephesians 3:16–19, where Paul prays that believers would grasp “how wide, long, high, and deep” is the love of Christ. The Holy Spirit expands our capacity to experience God’s fullness, not just understand it intellectually. As we align our “spiritual sails,” we encounter the transforming presence of God that changes our perspective, strengthens our faith, and fills our lives with His power.

Whether you’re new to faith or seeking a deeper connection with God, this message will inspire you to open your heart fully to the Holy Spirit. Experience what it means to live empowered, aligned, and anchored in the presence of God.
