Insight for the Journey

The series is off and running! Last weekend we talked about “life working better plugged in”. It was the first in an 8-part series on the Holy Spirit.

As anticipated, the questions are coming fast and furious. I was inundated with questions after each service. This subject makes a lot of people nervous. Many, many people have “horror stories” to share about previous experiences where they were taught certain things about the Spirit they subsequently discovered are not true. Some told of outright “religious abuse”, that is, cult-like psychological control where people claimed to be speaking for the Spirit, but were really using it to intimidate the person and control the agenda. One young lady came in tears and was very fearful about this topic because it evoked many fears related to her childhood church where talks about the Holy Spirit were a weekly occurrence. 

Few subjects I’ve ever tackled evoke as much intrigue and as many questions as the Holy Spirit.

I have many goals, aims, and hopes that I pray God will accomplish during these weeks. But my main desire is that each of us would be able to unleash The Holy Spirit’s power in our lives.

This series is about the Holy Spirit and you. I want to change, and I want you to change.

How would you currently characterize your relationship with God, the Holy Spirit? If He is not a Counselor who daily motivates, energizes and illuminates you, my prayer is that you will discover the life-changing refreshment of seeking to live moment-by-moment in step with the Spirit.

Let’s do this journey together.
