Have We Forgotten The Holy Spirit?
I think it was Francis Chan who said that if you took away the Holy Spirit in churches today, sadly many would still keep on operating because they have been built completely on talent with no request from the supernatural. “Many churches are empty, dry, and void of spiritual life because they have lost touch…

ARTICLE: 6 Weeks Away & Unplugged – LV Hanson | Catalyst
The Father Does Not Shout, He Whispers. It wasn’t until I shut everything off that I slowly realized how much I tune into that which is the most immediately appealing…to that which “wins” my attention, and everything around me seems to SHOUT and compete for it – the television I watch, the movies I see,…

Problem is… this is contagious. So…

The Missional Church… What is it? Simple…
Here’s a simple video which explains what a missional church is as opposed to an attractional church… YouTube – The Missional Church… simple.
