What About That 3rd Person?
We Christians are well versed in the workings of God the Father, and God the Son … but what about God the Holy Spirit? We often do not acknowledge the power or the significance of this “third person” of the Trinity. This Sunday we observe a festival known as “The Holy Trinity” and Pastor Jack’s message will be “What About That 3rd Person?” Join Pastor as he inbacks the theological significance of the Holy Spirit.. and what it all means for our daily living. This will be a thought-provoking message indeed!
