I personally loved the historical coverage of how thinking and doctrine has developed in church history. Overall, a very practical unit on the Holy Spirit. The interview were also quite good – it was interesting to hear a variety of experiences with the Holy Spirit, and all of them had some great practicalities to take away!

This definitely changed my perspective of worship (even as a pastor!) – the approach Tex brings is both challenging and empowering!

This lecture was honestly an eye opener to me on how we should worship God, the way we worship God back then its no more like temple worship we worship him anywhere any place. The way we give to people and sever them should be away of how we will serve and give to God. Our presence and value is meant to uplift others. Mr. Tex Houston also mentioned about the way we should worship when we in church and the difference between a church service and a church gathering witch really did make a lot of sense cause when we come together to worship God its should be done in unity.
