God's Overruling Power in our Lives Part 1
April 17, 2024 12:00 - 26 minutesAs we look back over the course of our lives we can see peaks and valleys, successes and failures.

Who is the Holy Spirit Part 2
April 13, 2024 12:00 - 26 minutesAsk 10 people on the street who is the Holy Spirit, and you might get 10 very different answers. And many are under the impression that He’s just some inanimate force out there. But today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn the truth about the Holy Spirit, and who He really is.
