“You Will Receive Power: Discovering the Fire” | Pastor Roberto Chaple
What do fire and the Holy Spirit have in common?
In this Pentecost message, Pastor Roberto explores how fire—something humans never invented but simply discovered—mirrors the arrival of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. As the apostles gathered, they were filled with the Spirit, and tongues of fire appeared above them. It was the spark that ignited a movement.
Just as fire was the foundation of civilization, the Spirit is the foundation of the Church. Fire brings energy, motion, and creativity. Pentecost wasn’t a revival moment—it was a birth moment.
Pastor Roberto invites us to ask:
Are we trying to revive something... or are we ready to carry something new?
Because when God’s fire falls, our role is simple: pour gasoline where we see it.
