This is the final week of our More than a Feeling series, and we have discovered so much about the Holy Spirit. We have learned He is not just an emotion or mysterious force but a real and personal part of the Trinity—our Helper and constant companion, we’ve also seen that He can’t be controlled or fit into a formula that gets a certain answer, but He can be trusted to guide, empower, and transform us as we walk with Him. As we wrap up, remember this isn’t the end—it's the beginning of learning to walk daily with the Spirit. Keep digging into God’s Word, invite the Holy Spirit into your ordinary moments, and watch how He shapes your heart and steps each day.

This week, we continue our look at who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in our lives. Many people think of the Holy Spirit as a feeling or a moment of emotion, but He is so much more. He is the living, active presence of God in us. Today, we’ll explore one of the most challenging truths: the Holy Spirit cannot be controlled. As people, we like structure, predictability, and control. But following the Spirit often means releasing our grip and trusting His leading—even when it doesn’t fit our schedule or plans. Remember, this is a safe place, with no judgement, as we share and learn to recognize His voice together.

Don’t you just love God’s Word? This week we begin a brand-new series about the Holy Spirit. For many of us, the Holy Spirit feels like a mystery. Maybe you grew up in an environment that didn’t talk about Him much, or maybe you’ve only heard confusing or conflicting things about who He is and what He does. As a result, it can be tempting to ignore the Holy Spirit altogether or reduce Him to just a feeling or a force. But Jesus made it clear that the Holy Spirit is essential—He is God Himself living in us, guiding us, empowering us, and comforting us. Our goal in this series is to know Him more personally, understand His role more clearly, and learn to walk with Him more faithfully in everyday life.

This is our final stop in the series “Eden to Eternity.” We close with the book of Revelation—the unveiling of Jesus Christ. This vision was given to the apostle John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos. Revelation is not written to frighten us or help us predict the date of the end times—Scripture is clear that no one knows the day or hour. It’s full of symbolism and mystery, much of which we can’t fully explain. Yet it is meant to strengthen our hope and remind us that God is in control and that one day He will make all things new. Let’s explore its truths and the principles that still shape our lives today.

God’s Word is alive—it speaks as clearly today as when it was first written. Throughout this series we traveled through the story of scripture. This week we reach one of its most awe-inspiring moments: the Gospels. The Old Testament closed in silence as Israel waited for the promised Messiah. Then the quite broke with the best news ever: God Himself came near in Jesus Christ! Four Gospels, one Messiah. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each present the same life-changing truth—Jesus is the Savior—yet each highlights unique details. Four eyewitnesses describing the same event from different vintage points, their perspectives weave together a rich, complete picture of who Jesus is.
