The roles of the Holy Spirit include being our advocate, reminding us of God's truth, convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; glorifying Jesus. The Spirit awakens our conscience to the true nature of things.
"What's Heaven Like?"
May 12, 2024 • Pastor Bryan Eckelmann
The Resurrection gives us the assurance of heaven -- but what's heaven like? We MUST use our imagination, since we cannot understand an existence we have never experienced. So we'll (briefly) consider five imaginations of Heaven - Paradise (Lk 23:43), Banquet (Is 25:6-8), Worship (Rev 7:9f), New (Rev 21:1-4) and House (Jn 14:2-4).
"With Curious Angels"
April 28, 2024 • Pastor Bryan Eckelmann • John 20:30–31, 1 Peter 1:8–12
How does the Resurrection change how we read Scripture, or how we hear and trust God's promises? Peter tells us that before that 1st Easter, the Prophets wanted to know HOW God would redeem us, but were not told. So, a great deal of what they said and wrote was not only for their time but for us. What a privilege to have our Bible and to have faith and life that comes from God's Story and the open tomb!
