The Mission of the Holy Spirit

I concluded our series on the Holy Spirit this weekend at Eastbrook Church with a message from on “The Mission of the Holy Spirit.”

While there are so many things that we could highlight related to the Holy Spirit, I wanted to pull us back into the central mission and aim of the Holy Spirit in our world.

You can listen to my message at the Eastbrook web-site here. You can also follow the RSS feed for Eastbrook sermons or follow Eastbrook Church on Twitter or Facebook. A slightly revised message outline is included below:
