This sermon centers on the Holy Spirit, who inspires joy within us.

Reference verses : Nehemiah 12:40-43

The sermon centers on the Holy Spirit as our spiritual EMT — Empowering, Molding, and Testifying through our lives. First, He Empowers us (Romans 8:11; Acts 1:8) with God’s miracle-working power, enabling us to overcome weakness, fear, and uncertainty. Second, He Molds us, like a baker mixing ingredients, shaping our character with the Fruit of the Spirit so Christ’s light can shine through us. This process blends every quality into the sweet aroma of His presence. Finally, He enables us to Testify (Revelation 12:11) — not only with words but through transformed living that reflects the aroma of Christ to the world. The Spirit equips us daily, shapes us continually, and turns our lives into a witness that exalts Jesus everywhere we go.

Reference Verse : Galatians 5:22-23

This sermon explores how the Holy Spirit empowers believers through Calling, Authority, and Assignment—the CAA of a Spirit-driven life. Drawing from Acts and the story of Gideon, Pastor Selvin Cortez teaches that every believer is called—first to salvation, then to a unique purpose, and finally to daily obedience. We are given authority by the Holy Spirit — not through merit, but through submission. This authority is tested and proven under pressure, just as Gideon’s was. Finally, our assignment is to glorify God through Spirit-led obedience. Like jars of clay, we are vessels holding the fire of the Spirit (the torch) and called to lift our voices (the trumpet) in boldness. The message concludes with a challenge: it’s not about how much of the Holy Spirit you have, but how much of you the Holy Spirit has.
