TRICKLE DOWN DECEIT
January 14 - 28, 2018

FROM DIsappointment to hope

Join us as we consider the themes of disappointment and hope found in the book of Exodus.
I want to believe, but...
April 23 – May 14, 2017
It’s can be difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expectations—but that’s good news! Find out why in a new series: I Want to Believe, But….
In this four-week series, we’ll discuss four different versions of “God” which don’t exist—they’re fabrications people often want to believe about the nature of God. But when we start to put God in a box, we create our own ideas about Him and what He’s supposed to do for us.

How does one actually receive the Holy Spirit?
How do I get more of the Holy Spirit?
How does He work in my life?
What about tongues and prophecy?
Join us as we discuss the person and work of the Spirit in our lives.
