Below the Surface

Kadijah Gabriel teaches from Acts 8, where Simon the Sorcerer is confronted after attempting to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. She warns against surface-level belief in God—belief that is fascinated by miracles but lacks true relationship and transformation. Using the metaphor of unskimmed soup, she challenges listeners to go deeper and allow God to cleanse the hidden parts of their hearts. The message emphasizes the free gift of the Holy Spirit, the danger of distraction, and the invitation to repentance and authentic relationship. Communion closes the message, inviting Jesus into areas we’ve kept at the surface.
