Relying on the Comforter: God's Plan for Church Growth

While these comforts can provide some relief, true and lasting comfort comes from the Holy Spirit, the Comforter promised by Jesus. By examining how the church grew as described in Acts 9:31, this message explores the importance of not substituting temporary comforts, feelings, and the illusion of control for The Comforter. By prioritizing the Comforter over mere comfort, believers can experience deeper spiritual growth and a greater connection with God and each other.
