Thesis statement
The holy spirit’s power was essential to the early Christian
church. He not only guided believer spread the gospels,
overcome challenges but also comforted them during
tribulation.
Introduction
Holy Spirit as part of the trinity and the previous promises of
the holy spirt by God the father. Jesus told disciples about the
Holy Spirit in John 7:37-39 to come and quench their thirst as
well as a sneak preview of the works of the Holy Spirit.
Empowering believers to face challenges
On the day of Pentecost
Jesus commissioned disciples to go all over the world. They
however were to wait for power to come over them. On
Pentecost, disciples were filed with power of Holy Spirit and
started doing the works Jesus had told them about
.
Empowering believers
They were lacking the power to perform miracles
. Holy Spirit empowered the believers to overcome the
hardships they had witnessed as well as to spread the gospel to
the new regions of the globe
.
Guiding and comforting believers
Comfort during trials
The Holy Spirit’s power in the early church was seen when
comforting the disciples when faced with challenging situations.
He explains, revealed and interpreted the scriptures to the
disciples in a manner that made it easier to spread the gospel
Guiding through temptation and trials
The disciples also relied in the power of Holy Spirit to offer
them with wisdom and courage to face their persecutors and
challengers
. Disciples also relied on Holy Spirit to discern between the
false teacher and believers existing among the believers and the
hardship in prisons
. Believers relied on Holy Spirit to win new disciples, convert
them into believers, as well as guide them in the correct way
.
Conclusion
Will highlight the main point, restatement of the thesis
statement and make remarks concerning the roles played by the
Holy Spirit in early church.

EARLY CHURCH 1
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE EARLY
CHURCH 2
The power of the Holy Spirit in the early church

The power of the Holy Spirit in the early church
The risen Christ before ascension promised the Holy Spirit to
the disciples. He told them not to live Jerusalem until they have
received the power, which was the Holy Spirit in acts 1:4. Jesus
had told the disciples that they would be able to do exceedingly
abundant works and amazing one more than he did in his
lifetime.
However, this never happened to the disciples when they were
with Christ. Therefore, they were lacking some power to
perform these signs and wonders.
It was not until the day of Pentecost that the disciples started
doing these great works.
The early church was left in hard time after the passing away of
Christ. During his early ministry day, Jesus faced stiff
opposition from the Jews, who were opposed to his teaching and
his stand. The persecution was increasing each day of his life up
to his persecution. The remaining disciples needed massive
spirituals, psychological and even social power to overcome this
threat.
They were going to face great tribulation, including threat to
their own lives in their endeavor to spread the gospel.
The Holy Spirit was very important to the lives of the
disciples. Earlier when Jesus was predicting about his ascension
and death, he told them that when gone, He would send the Holy
Spirit, who will comfort, teach, and guide them.
This was the role that the Holy Spirit was to asist the disciples
and was what Jesus meant when he told them to remain in
Jerusalem until they receive the power.
During the hard times, like being thrown into prisons, the Holy
Spirit played a great role in giving the believers enough courage
to face their accusers.
This was a great way of ensuring the believers remained
together and focused on the great mission. The Holy Spirit
guided Peter, John, and Philip in hard times to withstand the
persecution and to win new disciples.
The leaders were all guided by the power of the Holy Spirit to
guide the believers and win new converts. This was first
witnessed in the day of Pentecost when the disciples witnessed
in different tongues to the masses who were gathered around
them. Philip was guided by the Holy Spirit to go and minister to
Saul and convert him to Christianity.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit was not only guided believers but
also assisted them in the mission work by revealing the gospel,
and in meeting new converts.
The Holy Spirit acted as a guide for the disciples to distinguish
between the true believers and those who were not. This power
acted as a way of guiding the community of believers into the
right way of life.
Such was expressly seen when Ananias and Sapphira tried to
lie to peter concerning the money proceeds from the sale of
their land. It also assisted Philip, peter and John to deal with
Simon the Sorcerer.
Without this power, it would have been difficult for the
believers to deal with deceptions and other hardship in those
treacherous times. Therefore, the Holy Spirit’s power was the
most influential force behind the spread of the early
Christianity.
Without it, the believers would not have overcome the
hardships, tribulations and the persecutions that lay ahead of
them. He revealed the scriptures to them, gave them the
audacity to stand by the name of the Lord, proclaim his gospel
without fearing death, as well as guide their course.

On Pentecost, disciples were filed with power of Holy Spirit and started doing the works Jesus had told them about . Empowering believers They were lacking the power to perform miracles . Holy Spirit empowered the believers to overcome the
  • 2. hardships they had witnessed as well as to spread the gospel to the new regions of the globe . Guiding and comforting believers Comfort during trials The Holy Spirit’s power in the early church was seen when comforting the disciples when faced with challenging situations. He explains, revealed and interpreted the scriptures to the disciples in a manner that made it easier to spread the gospel Guiding through temptation and trials The disciples also relied in the power of Holy Spirit to offer them with wisdom and courage to face their persecutors and challengers .

  • 6. Running head: THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE EARLY CHURCH 1 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE EARLY CHURCH 2 The power of the Holy Spirit in the early church Joseph Moore BIBL 364 Professor Don Fanning Liberty University 15 November 2016 The power of the Holy Spirit in the early church The risen Christ before ascension promised the Holy Spirit to the disciples. He told them not to live Jerusalem until they have received the power, which was the Holy Spirit in acts 1:4. Jesus had told the disciples that they would be able to do exceedingly abundant works and amazing one more than he did in his lifetime. However, this never happened to the disciples when they were with Christ. Therefore, they were lacking some power to perform these signs and wonders. It was not until the day of Pentecost that the disciples started doing these great works. The early church was left in hard time after the passing away of Christ. During his early ministry day, Jesus faced stiff opposition from the Jews, who were opposed to his teaching and his stand. The persecution was increasing each day of his life up to his persecution. The remaining disciples needed massive spirituals, psychological and even social power to overcome this threat. They were going to face great tribulation, including threat to
  • 7. their own lives in their endeavor to spread the gospel. The Holy Spirit was very important to the lives of the disciples. Earlier when Jesus was predicting about his ascension and death, he told them that when gone, He would send the Holy Spirit, who will comfort, teach, and guide them. This was the role that the Holy Spirit was to asist the disciples and was what Jesus meant when he told them to remain in Jerusalem until they receive the power. During the hard times, like being thrown into prisons, the Holy Spirit played a great role in giving the believers enough courage to face their accusers. This was a great way of ensuring the believers remained together and focused on the great mission. The Holy Spirit guided Peter, John, and Philip in hard times to withstand the persecution and to win new disciples. The leaders were all guided by the power of the Holy Spirit to guide the believers and win new converts. This was first witnessed in the day of Pentecost when the disciples witnessed in different tongues to the masses who were gathered around them. Philip was guided by the Holy Spirit to go and minister to Saul and convert him to Christianity. Therefore, the Holy Spirit was not only guided believers but also assisted them in the mission work by revealing the gospel, and in meeting new converts. The Holy Spirit acted as a guide for the disciples to distinguish between the true believers and those who were not. This power acted as a way of guiding the community of believers into the right way of life. Such was expressly seen when Ananias and Sapphira tried to lie to peter concerning the money proceeds from the sale of their land. It also assisted Philip, peter and John to deal with Simon the Sorcerer. Without this power, it would have been difficult for the believers to deal with deceptions and other hardship in those treacherous times. Therefore, the Holy Spirit’s power was the
  • 8. most influential force behind the spread of the early Christianity. Without it, the believers would not have overcome the hardships, tribulations and the persecutions that lay ahead of them. He revealed the scriptures to them, gave them the audacity to stand by the name of the Lord, proclaim his gospel without fearing death, as well as guide their course.
