"God Put Something in You"

Oct 26, 2025 • Rev. Billy Cerveny

In this powerful message from Joel 2 and John 20, Rev. Billy Cerveny explores what it means to live a Spirit-driven life. From the story of Colonel Sanders’ long road to purpose, to the biblical truth that God has placed His own Spirit within us, Rev. Billy shows that every believer is wired for mission. Sin may distort our purpose, but the Holy Spirit renews our hearts and restores our calling. Through Scripture, storytelling, and humor, he reminds us that we don’t go on mission for God—He takes us with Him. When we let the Spirit lead, our lives become part of God’s redemptive story in the world.

Scripture References: Joel 2:23–32; John 20:19–23

Key Themes: Holy Spirit, Mission, Purpose, Calling, Renewal, Grace, God’s Image
