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.

Sunday, February 17th, 2008 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
