FROM DIsappointment to hope

I want to believe, but...
April 23 – May 14, 2017

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.
