Saraland Church with Jason Mayfield Jesus in Pentecost
What if the Pentecostal experience you've been settling for is the spiritual equivalent of instant mashed potatoes?
Pastor Jason Mayfield kicks off the "We Are Openly Spirit-Filled" series with a challenge to every believer who's ever wondered why their spiritual experiences don't last past the parking lot. Using Acts 8 and the story of Simon the Sorcerer, Jason unpacks three non-negotiables for authentic Spirit-filled living: Jesus must be the source, Jesus must be the highest, and Jesus must be our friend.
This episode includes a sobering story about a pastor who rigged pyrotechnics inside a fern to fake revival—and the uncomfortable question it raises for all of us: What "fake fires" have we learned to accept?
Whether you're a lifelong Pentecostal or just curious about Spirit-filled Christianity, this message will reframe how you think about the power of God.
