Play Kids video: God sends Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit is the grace and power to be witnesses of Jesus and His ways.

To really be witnesses of who Jesus is in our lives we need to have signs that make people know that we are more than just a religion or belief system.

Without the power of Holy Spirit we are what humanity can do on our own.

Holy Spirit empowers us to do the impossible.

Holy Spirit is our access to God and His power.

With the Power of Holy Spirit we can be the remnant that brings this move of God in our lives and to the world.
