NEW MEN'S GROWTH GROUP STUDY
starting July 7, 7:00 p.m. in Room 219-220 (FLC)
The Forgotten God by
Francis Chan
A follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love, Pastor
Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow
the Holy Spirit's direction in our lives. In the name of the Father, the Son,
and ... the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we
live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He
promised to send the Holy Spirit--the Helper--so that we could be true and
living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift
but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and
bows to get at the true source of the church's power--the Holy Spirit. Chan
contends that we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the
disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form
Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of
the living God.
