Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week A Surge in the Spirit
Surge Forward in Faith and Wonder Like Never Before
Kris Vallotton urges believers to embrace a surge in the Spirit by stepping out with childlike curiosity and zeal. He highlights the importance of staying on the edge of faith, avoiding complacency, and continuously seeking God's awe and wonders as exemplified by faith-filled dreamers. Drawing from scripture, including Acts 2 and Proverbs 25, he emphasizes that longevity in faith should bring increased zeal and breakthroughs, not comfort or complacency.
He illustrates this by recalling the story of David and Uriah, warning against living off past exploits instead of current passion. Kris also calls believers to 'go where no one's gone before' and likens spiritual growth to a surge that propels us from faith to faith and glory to glory. This mindset shift is crucial to experiencing a new season of God's manifest presence and miracles.
