Living by the Power of God

After an unusually early Easter we are starting a new terms preaching series even before the School Easter holidays. I read an article in Christianity magazine entitled Hands Down, about the decline of the charismatic in the UK . We don't want to see a decline in the charismatic at ABC, we want to see an increase as well as seeing the same evangelistic growth that many churches are currently experiencing. So we will be looking at the life of Joshua who saved God's people out of the wilderness into the promised land, and NT chapters about gifts of the Spirit. There is land for us to possess. Let us press on into it.
