Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

I want to help people understand how to study the Scriptures with other people, to give them an overview of Scripture and assume that by understanding the Scriptures better, the Holy Spirit will bring to mind the right stories, the right teachings.

When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.

Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.

Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
