NEW SERMON SERIES: “BECOMING”

Among some of Jesus’ last words, He says to His disciples, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you” (Acts 1:8). So what exactly did Jesus mean? Over the next few weeks on Sunday mornings, we will embark on a journey designed to take us away from vague, uncertain notions of who the Holy Spirit is and what He does. Discover what it means to live out your faith while growing, enjoying, and abiding daily intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Click here for more information or to watch online.
