The Power of the Spirit
Believers Fellowship’s mission statement says:
Believers Fellowship exists to glorify God by ministering the word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit with a focus on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to present everyman complete in Christ.
Notice that we want to minister the word in the power of the Holy Spirit. Some people think that if you place a heavy emphasis on the word of God that you might leave the Holy Spirit out of the picture.
We would say just the opposite. We believe that the Holy Spirit was at work in the men who wrote Scripture, insuring that it was recorded accurately. Also, the Spirit illumines us as we study, helping us to understand and bringing conviction into our lives. Additionally, it is the Spirit who empowers us as we live in obedience to the word.
The work of the word and the Spirit go together.
