Christian expectations concerning the Holy Spirt are wide-ranging. Some expect the Holy Spirit to work just as he did 2000 years ago. Others believe He only works through the written Word of God. Both beliefs do not match Biblical teaching. Today, we will look closer at expectations about the Spirit's role and work in our lives today.

In the beginning of Acts 3, Peter and John encounter a beggar at the temple in Jerusalem. What happens next will change the beggar’s life and teach us about faith, trust, and prayer.

Jesus' death and resurrection are the greatest events of all time. Believers are blessed by these events beyond what they fully know. Even still, the greatest work of Jesus on our behalf continues. This very hour, He is taking our prayers and confessions to the Father. At any moment, He will return to take us to be with Him forever!

Jesus is the center of our lives. His teachings are both light and life. His power as the Son of God and sacrifice as the Lamb of God secured what we needed the most. His resurrection secured life throughout all Eternity.

Understanding Jesus is essential to our faith. It is not enough to only believe He existed. One must believe who He is to have life through Him. Today, we will look closely at Jesus as both human and divine.
