  • Don’t Do Ministry Without the Holy Spirit

    Jesus needs us to understand our identity. We are temples of God’s presence, infused with the Holy Spirit to enter God’s sacred presence and do ministry in His power. And so, if we as a royal priesthood are going to do His ministry, then we need to access His presence inside of us so that…

  • The Kenotic View of Jesus

    One of the passages that teaches us that Jesus is both God and man is Philippians 2:5-8. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of…

  • Jesus Was Empowered by the Holy Spirit

    Many of us have made Jesus so inhuman that he becomes, as Paul Wallace says, a lot like Superman: he’s an alien, an immigrant from an unearthly realm sent to us—yes, by his father—from the heavens. He looks like one of us but is not really one of us. Like Clark Kent, his humble exterior…

  • Fully God, Fully Man

    It is a common statement that “Jesus was fully God and fully man,” but it seems people rarely address how that works out. How can Jesus be fully God and fully man? If we take a close look, we see that the Bible actually explains this conundrum a little more fully than we thought at…

  • The Week Before the Launch

    In our final message of season 3, I reminisce about our summer’s progression into the dinner church model and share stories of what God has said and done along the way. Next week begins a new podcast season and a new chapter in 1208’s life. Check out today’s episode on 1208GREENWOOD’s webpage or simply subscribe…

  • Dinner Church Launches This Sunday!

    Our church has been training all summer for our new Dinner Church launch this Sunday! We made the intentional decision to move from church as we’ve always known it and do it a new way to serve and reach our community. If you live in the Jackson area and don’t already have a church, we…

  • Why This Book?: The Rush & the Rest Preview

    With so many books out there about the Holy Spirit, I had to wonder if I even needed to write this book. I decided I did, and here are a few things that I think make it unique.
