The Holy Spirit isn’t some vague force or confusing theological concept—He’s the personal presence of God with us and in us. Before we can walk in His power, we need to know get to His heart. So, who is the Holy Spirit? And what’s He all about?

A People of God’s Presence
From April 21-30, Pastor Jeff visited the south of Brazil along with 6 other leaders from the MB Conference (our denomination) to hear from God and to learn from the Global Church.

Q&R
In a four week series about spiritual warfare, it's impossible to address every question people might have about the topic.
So, as we wrap up our series “Deliver Us From Evil”, we're taking some time to work through a few of the remaining questions people might have. Questions like: Can a Christian be possessed by a demon? Can the devil read our minds? How are Christians to think about things like yoga and books like Harry Potter etc? How can I know if I'm under spiritual attack?
Pastor Jeff does his best to provide a thoughtful and biblically-based response to all these questions (and more)...
Know Your Authority
It’s possible to ‘be in charge’ but to lack authority. Authority matters. Authority is the difference between having people respect & listen to you and having them disrespect & ignore you. But what is our authority in Christ over evil and the powers of darkness? How can we discover and live into it more fully? Why does this matter? How does this all work?
Know The Truth
Jesus went face to face with the Devil once… and he ‘won’. So how can we ‘win’ in our battle with temptation, testing, and with evil itself? What's the role of Scripture in Spiritual Warfare?
Know Your King
We live in a world of competing Kingdoms; the Kingdom of Darkness vs the Kingdom of Light. To live in the Kingdom of Darkness is to align ourselves with that Kingdom’s ideology and ‘king’. And to live in the Kingdom of Light is to align ourselves with that Kingdom’s ideology and the One True King. So, who is your King? And how does knowing this King impact the way we engage in the battle?
Know Your Enemy
The Bible teaches that we have a spiritual enemy who is hell-bent on our destruction. So who is this enemy? And what do we, as followers of Jesus, need to understand about his role in our life and our world?
“Loving Your NEIGHBOUR As Yourself”
We are called to love God by loving our NEIGHBOURS as ourselves. But what does that look like? How can we make ‘loving our neighbours’ a top priority this year?
“Loving God With all your Strength”
We are called to love God with all our STRENGTH. But what does that
look like? How can we make ‘loving God with all our STRENGTH’ a top priority this year?
“Loving God With All Your SOUL”
We are called to love God with all our SOUL. But what does that look
like? How can we make ‘loving God with all our SOUL’ a top priority this year?
