The church has always been a movement of people living the way of Jesus. And the source of that movement is the Holy Spirit. In week one of Presence, we discussed the power of the Holy Spirit and the necessity of every follower of Jesus to make room for it in their daily lives.

Who are you becoming? You decide. Today we talked about God's heart for us; that we become people set free in Jesus, and people who are becoming more like Jesus. May we see God's will for salvation and sanctification play out in our hearts, our church, and our city. Check out the links below for some important info!

Because of Jesus we can live vulnerably. Because Jesus became man and put on vulnerability we are invited to build relationships where we take risks and trust that God has our next steps.
