The strength of faith and the courage of character it takes to choose to release someone who has done you grievous harm requires having access to a deeper source of forgiveness. It requires the maturity to know that you, too, are a sinner, capable of anything, and forgiven only at enormous cost. It requires experiencing yourself that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from every sin. That the blood of Christ is a true drink indeed from the River of Life.

The Holy Spirit
October 27, 2019 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson
There is no salvation without the work of the Holy Spirit. There is no growth in Christ without the Spirit. There is no mission without the Spirit. There is no worship without the Spirit. He is active in my heart and constantly shaping my life. The Spirit is the power that fuels our quest for Christ. He gifts us for his service. He grows fruit in us that makes us taste like Christ to the world. "The Holy Spirit" Romans 5: 5b Ephesians 2: 1-10 Gerrit Dawson
