CURRENT SERIES
HOLY SPIRIT OUR HELPER // 0 - 5TH GRADE // 9 & 10:30 AM // ENTER DOOR 7
We often use the word helper to describe someone who is well-meaning but not that powerful, like the sidekick to a superhero. But when Jesus told His disciples in John 16:7 that He was sending a helper, He was promising someone so much more than a sidekick! The Holy Spirit is the very fullness of God—fully powerful, fully wise, fully loving. The Holy Spirit is God, and just as Jesus promised, the Holy Spirit is with us! In this series, we’ll see the Holy Spirit work through Paul, move in prison-breaking power, help us pray, and unite the church. The Holy Spirit isn’t merely a sidekick; He is God, our helper!

CURRENT SERIES
GOOD CALL // WEDNESDAYS // 6:30 PM
Coaches help their teams by guiding them towards good decisions. They create the strategy, put together a game plan, and send their players out to make it happen. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to do that for all of our decisions? Thankfully, God gives us wisdom whenever we feel like we could use a good coach. In this 4-week series from Proverbs and the Epistles, we'll learn more about the wisdom God offers us whenever we want to make godly decisions. We'll see that wise people practice what God has said and share what God has given them. We'll also look at how the Holy Spirit helps wise people follow God’s guidance and how wise people's words show God's love.
