It's God's work through the Holy Spirit poured out through his Church. It's delegated power, of course, purely and only delegated power, but still power.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”-- Acts 1:8

....” poured out through his Church.”

.......rather thru it’s people...and that to be “Witnesses of Christ”...not the church itself.

power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you

It is thru Christ living His life thru us by the power of His Spirit. We ourself have no power.

The Church is all those who are believers no matter their church affiliation....no one specific church saves nor sanctifies.....it was and remains God's work in us as believers....and our witness to the Christ and His finished work....
