What Are We Waiting For?

Contributed by Ian Bullock on May 18, 2021

Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival. As you stand ...read more

Empowered: The Truth About The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Matthew Lester on Mar 1, 2017
