“Was That the Holy Spirit?” (Ep135)

God promises his Holy Spirit to his people, but what exactly does it look like for a Christian to experience the Holy Spirit? And how can he or she know that what they’re experiencing is in fact the Holy Spirit? Chuck and Aaron talk about these and other related questions on this episode.

Baptized with Christ – The Baptism of Our Lord

Just as we were baptized into Christ’s death, we are Baptized into the new life that comes because we are also baptized into His resurrection.

Liturgist and Preacher: Pastor Bill Engfehr; Reader: Nic Schatte
