One Spirit: Power & Wisdom

Life on the West Side

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is power…freedom…transformation…unity…glory.
The wisdom of the world can’t hold a candle to the mind of the Spirit. And we, people of the Spirit, sharing in one Spirit, walking by one Spirit, empowered by one Spirit, shine like lights in the world, radiating with power and glory that comes from the crucified Lord.
