Harmony Baptist Church of Waynesville, MO

The character that I left out of this bad opening to a sermon was none other than the third person of the trinity. God, the holy spirit. Instead of spirit inspired, spirit led advances of the gospel, we end up with human driven, guilt inspired efforts that preach Christ, but also detract from his glory because we've made it about ourselves. By forgetting the holy spirit, we foist a burden upon ourselves that sees our evangelism as the driver of the church and not God himself. We can preach Christ out of a different motive.
