THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SANCTIFICATION
This Sunday we will continue our series as we look at the Sanctifying Work of the Holy Spirit in our lives which includes His work to set us free from the bondages that keep us from serving our Lord Jesus Christ. But more than that, the freedom that the Spirit provides is a freedom to join our Lord Jesus Christ in the Mission of God. Galatians 5:23, 24 reveals to us the goal of sanctification, to exhibit the character of Jesus.
