The Promise of Power – Pastor Michael Rashidian

Right before His ascension, Jesus gave a clear instruction to His disciples: “Stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). But what is this power and why did they need to wait for it? In this message, Pastor Michael Rashidian unpacks Jesus’ final command, pointing to the Holy Spirit as more than just a presence. He is our Counselor, our Helper, our divine strength. This power isn’t something we find in ourselves; it’s something given to us by God to equip us, guide us, and sustain us for the life He’s called us to live.
