Rediscovering the empowering of the Spirit to build community and biblical fellowship, guide shepherds in the local church, and ignite a fervor to pray will bring renewal to the church, a renewal much needed today. When we seek the fullness of the Spirit, our lives, churches, and neighborhoods are transformed. |
