Preaching Half A Message

Jun 15, 2025    Pastor Philip Spellman

In this powerful message, we delve into the story of Apollos from Acts 18, exploring the danger of preaching only half the gospel. Apollos, though eloquent and fervent, knew only the baptism of John - a message of repentance without the full power of the Holy Spirit. This serves as a profound reminder that our spiritual journey doesn't end at repentance; it's just the beginning. We're called to embrace the full gospel - not just the cleansing of sins, but the transformative power of the Holy Spirit that enables us to live victoriously. This message challenges us to examine our lives: Are we living out the complete gospel, or have we stopped short? It's a call to move beyond mere behavioral change to experience true rebirth and empowerment through the Spirit, allowing God to work in us continually, shaping us into better reflections of Christ.
