What Difference does the Holy Spirit Make
In the Life of a Believer
In the Life of the Church
Dear Church,
We continue in our sermon series on the Holy Spirit, turning from Galatians to Ephesians (3:14-21).
Paul’s exquisite prayer asks for Christ to dwell in and among the Christians in Ephesus (and also here in Glen Ellyn!) that they would have the strength and power of the Holy Spirit to know the love of Jesus and be filled with the fullness of God.
Hope you can join us for worship this Sunday!
The Lord be with you! Pastor Dawn
