Some Christians think you can receive the Holy Spirit months or even years after you've been saved.

The Forgotten God?, Part 3
October 23, 2024
In certain churches, the Holy Spirit is talked about as something you experience during worship, when the music crescendos and you get a surge of emotions. Or, when we're praying about a decision and we feel a warmth in our chest, we think that that's the Holy Spirit telling us which way to go.

The Forgotten God?, Part 2
October 22, 2024
In some churches, you'll hear a lot of talk about God the Father and Jesus Christ, but the Holy Spirit seems to sort of get pushed to the side. In other churches, people focus so much on trying to hear from the Holy Spirit, that they'll interpret anything and everything as a sign from him. So which side is more biblical? What role is the Holy Spirit supposed to play in our churches and in our lives? Pastor J.D. unpacks those questions as he continues our new series called, Rushing Wind.

In our series called, "Rushing Wind," Pastor J.D. gets in-depth with what the Bible tells us about the Holy Spirit: who he is, what he does, and how he's working in our world today.
