<p>What does it really mean to live by the Holy Spirit? We hear it in church all the time—but what does that actually look like in everyday life? In our new series Living by the Spirit, we’re discovering what Jesus said the Holy Spirit would do when He comes to live inside of us. In this week’s message, When He Helps Me Overcome Sin, learn how the Holy Spirit gives us power to break free from sin, strengthen our faith, and live from the victory Jesus has already won.

<p>What does God do when we run the other way?

Through Jonah’s journey, we see that God’s goal isn’t to crush rebels but to restore them, showing His incredible love and patience. If you’ve ever wandered from God or know someone who has, this message will give you hope, perspective, and encouragement to return to Him.</p>

<p>How do you make sense of tragedies that feel completely senseless? In this week’s message, Shootings & Spiritual War, we confront the heartbreaking reality of violence and loss—and discover that what looks like chaos in our world is often the result of a deeper spiritual battle. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and John 10, we’ll see that our struggle is not against people, but against spiritual forces of evil, and that God equips us with the weapons we need to stand strong. If you’ve ever wrestled with the darkness of our times, this message offers clarity, hope, and a call to fight with faith, prayer, and God’s Word.</p>
