Mark 6:5-6

What is the biggest obstacle to our spirituality? 

Lack of faith, without it we are unable to see the work of the Holy Spirit in our life or to hear the plans that He has for us. Without faith we can not please God who rewards those who believe He exists.

In salvation we are given the Holy Spirit to teach us the spiritual things of Jesus so our life glorifies God…. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Nothing is impossible to those who believe.
