ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 7
Sunday, July 27th, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford
Have you ever wondered “Who is the Holy Spirit?”, “What does the Holy Spirit do?”, or “How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer?” The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is easily one of the most controversial, disagreed-about, avoided, feared, confused, and neglected subjects in the Bible. Pastor Dan has been teaching on the marks of a God-owned church (Knowing Who You Are) and how God equips his church to carry out his mission (Knowing How You Function). For the next two weeks, we are going to take a slight detour and explore the theological foundation to his teaching by focusing on the Biblical description of the Holy Spirit. MP3 download.

Belong: When God’s Passion and Your Purpose Collide, Part 1
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 : By Dan Miller
In this two week series we will give a revealing look at our role in God’s Kingdom. Wow, just think about the contrast in those two ideas: “our role” and “God’s Kingdom.” How do you boil down a subject this huge into a container so limited?

However, it is crucial if we are to really understand in full the “reason for the season.”
