Where in your life do you feel inadequate, "less than," not good enough?  We all have those spots -- and how we respond to them is critical to our ability to live into the fullness of who God calls us to be.  In other words, how we respond to our sense of inadequacy is a deep spiritual […]

This Sunday we conclude our intensive study of the Holy Spirit by looking at all the things in life that "weren't supposed to happen," but did.  We'll wrestle with why those things happen and how the Holy Spirit works in those circumstances.  Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why?"  If so, this sermon is for you.

This Sunday we will launch an in-depth study of the so-called Third Person of the Trinity, i.e., the Holy Spirit.  We'll begin by asking some basic questions like:  Who or what is the Holy Spirit?  How do I receive the Holy Spirit?  And most importantly, why should I care?  What's the big deal?
