Read the Fine Print pt 2

Apr 26, 2026    Corey Saxton

This powerful message takes us deep into understanding the complete package of salvation that many of us have only partially unwrapped. Drawing from Acts 19:1-2, we discover believers who had accepted Jesus but had never even heard of the Holy Spirit, a situation that mirrors many Christians today. The central revelation is this: there are two distinct experiences with the Holy Spirit that every believer needs. First, the Spirit dwelling IN us, which happens at salvation, guaranteeing our forgiveness and eternal life. But second, and equally vital, is the Spirit coming UPON us, the baptism of the Holy Spirit that releases supernatural power for living victoriously here on earth. The sermon brilliantly unpacks how Jesus didn't just die to get us to heaven someday; He rose and sent the Holy Spirit so we could experience heaven's power today. Through the story of a couple who won a free cruise but lived on snacks in their room while missing all the included meals and experiences, we see ourselves—saved but living far below what's been provided. The fine print of our salvation includes power, gifts, divine guidance, and the ability to be witnesses with impact. Luke 11:9-13 becomes our roadmap, revealing that when we persistently ask, seek, and knock, what we should be requesting above all else is the Holy Spirit Himself. This isn't about material blessings, it's about receiving the greatest gift the Father can give: His empowering presence that transforms us from mere church attendees into kingdom agents operating in the same power Jesus demonstrated.
