Old habits die hard, and this truth is highlighted in Acts 1, where, even after spending forty days with the resurrected Jesus, the disciples still ask, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” This moment marks the birth of the church, and serves as a reminder that even today, followers of Jesus are called to embody its mission. To be His witnesses, we must first encounter Him personally—and this can only happen through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. As Pastor Shawn Williams begins the Unleashed series, we’re invited to imagine what the church could look like in 2025 if it wholeheartedly embraced the Holy Spirit to advance the work of God’s Kingdom.
