🔥 THREE HEARTS FOR GOD’S HOUSE | A Message About Structure, Sum, and Spirit

What makes a church truly biblical, healthy, and multiplying? In this powerful message, we explore Three Hearts for God’s House—the heart of Structure, the heart of Sum, and the heart of the Spirit—and how God builds a church that transforms cities and reaches the lost.

This message breaks down the 7 Marks of a Biblical Church from Acts 2:42–47:

📖 Biblical Teaching

🤝 Authentic Community (Fellowship)

🍽 Hospitality

🙏 Prayer & Supernatural Dependence

🙌 Spirit-Filled Worship

🎁 Radical Generosity

🎣 Evangelism & Daily Addition

These aren’t ideas—they’re God’s blueprint.

Then we look at the Heart of Sum, where Scripture shows over and over again that God multiplies what we surrender. From Psalm 139 to Acts 9, Acts 12, and the miraculous catch in Luke 5, this message reveals the nature of a multiplying God who increases, expands, and overflows.

Finally, we dive into the Heart of the Spirit—the supernatural power that fueled the early church and still empowers the church today. Acts 2, Acts 5, and Acts 17 remind us that the church didn’t turn the world upside down through strategy alone… but by the wind, fire, and power of the Holy Spirit.

We walk through over 30 names and attributes of the Spirit—from Helper, Comforter, and Spirit of Truth, to Spirit of Wisdom, Might, Revelation, Power, and Glory—showing that everything the church needs is found in Him.
