     | 5,423 views

    We want to make real changes in our lives, but many of us are looking for a magic pill to solve all of our problems. We have to open ourselves to the wonderful and unpredictable Spirit that is flowing so freely and so full of life all around us.

    Lesson 9: Sin In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010
     | 3,897 views

    Handling sin in the church has become very difficult from both angles - in our PC world much bad behavior is actually celebrated, but Christians are also wounding each other over weakness instead of supporting and helping. We'll try to walk the fine line

It's a tough subject—sin in the church. This chapter can easily be misconstrued in several ways and I want to try ...read more
