In this sermon, we look at the story of Simon in Acts 8:9-24. Simon had power, but when he saw the Holy Spirit fall on people, he tried to buy that power. This message dives into the difference between seeking attention or affirmation and having a sincere, surrendered heart that God responds to. We explore how trying to use spiritual things to boost our image is a modern-day mistake and why you cannot buy the fire or manipulate God. Are you trying to impress people or follow Jesus? Do you want His presence or just His power? God is looking for real devotion, not performance. It's about your heart. Stay humble. Stay surrendered.
