Looking for the light?
Spirituality is more than finding a quiet place off on your own to commune with nature or God or your inner self or a higher power ... Don't settle for less than experiencing the Spirit of God. God is not trying to remove you from "the ordinary and everyday", but he is seeking to live with you everyday. So look for God as you commute, or as you shower and shave, or as you walk the dog. He is there. God comes to join us in our lives ... and you can meet him as we gather together on Sundays ...
New Bible Study
It's been used and abused, read, misread and laughed at. But it's no less real, or really helpful in knowing how to live here and now in a world where faith is not always popular. It's the Book of Revelation and it';s coming to The Spirit this June. Join us for our Wednesday evening Bible Studies where we peel away a lot of the weird commentary about this book and get to the heart of faith. Because Revelation is not just for the crazies who see in it a blueprint for everything mystical, it's the Word of God to us ...

Put some Spirit into your Spirituality
"I'm not very religious, I'm more spiritual." OK, just remember: Being spiritual is really hard without the Holy Spirit. It's the Spirit of God that alone can fill you to overflowing with joy, peace, patience ... Come experience the Spirit for yourself and be filled to overflowing, where you'll find that few of us are all that religious anyway ... here at Church of the Spirit

Spirituality can be a catch all phrase for anything that seems deep or emotional or other-worldly. It can mean anything you want it to mean, and often does. But building your...

Need a do-over or a make-over?
God gives us a fresh start. That’s not the same as a do-over. I’ve had some of those before. Back when I played golf I might take an occasional do-over. It’s called a Mulligan in golf. And you’re only supposed to get one on the first tee, and only once. Some people take them often, whenever they can. Here’s the problem... [Read more of this review]
