SERIES: Thy Kingdom Come
The Word of God reveals that Christians weren't meant to be the same old folks they were before they trust in Christ. It talks about being a new creation with a restored God-relationship and an amazing infusion of God's Spirit in us. God's Kingdom now shows up in our lives!
So, practically, what should this look like? No two persons will have identical spiritual journeys, but what should be the common ground, reasonable expectations, basic growth patterns for a child of God?
Come learn about how God can take the helm and supernaturally flow through your life.
