Well we have done it. We have stepped into our new series, Supernatural. I have told some of my friends and they are wondering how far I am willing to go in this series. My question to them is what do you mean?
After some discussion, they are wondering about the Holy Spirit and having supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Being a charismatic church and wanting for God to move supernaturally is not ever a question. However, how and to what degree is the Holy Spirit going to move. So many churches are struggling with this question of the Holy Spirit and what is appropriate and not appropriate in a weekend service.
There have been extremes on both sides. Some are having occurrences almost every week and if one does not occur than God did not move. Others have no occurrences and like it that way. I am not opting for either, I want both/and. Yet to live in this tension is not always easy nor is it taught. I choose to look at the New Testament where they had both happening.
I would like your take on this. Please leave a response whether you are a pastor, leader or attender of a church.
Life of a Pastor,
