On the Trinity and the Holy Spirit
For many of us, the Trinity is something that we confess, but if we are honest, we are not sure what it means. While the Trinity is a mystery, there are helpful ways of thinking about it and understanding it better. In this brief clip on God’s triune nature, Greg discusses the nature of the Trinity and how the Spirit draws you up into God’s life.

This is revealed in the life and death of Jesus. Out of love for humankind, Jesus emptied…
Lies, Truth, and the Holy Spirit
The root of the flesh is a lie about who God is and who we are. Satan brings us into bondage of the flesh by convincing us that God is not the loving God he says that he is. In doing this, Satan convinces us that we cannot find fullness of life by being wholly…
