It’s Pentecost! This is that!

From the very first moments of this age of the Spirit, God has been moving in ways that are tangible, that we can see and hear. We the people of the Spirit are not just teaching a theoretical faith. The Holy Spirit is not a doctrine, He’s a person. This is that.

People Need Purpose
