HIS Story

Welcome to a brand-new series on HIS Story — The Comforter Has Come! As we move toward the celebration of Pentecost, we’ll be featuring hymns that focus on the Holy Spirit’s life-changing work in the hearts of believers.

In this first episode, we reflect on the hymn "Channels Only" (#160 in Great Hymns of the Faith) and explore what it means to be a vessel ready for the Spirit’s use. Jesus promised His followers that the Comforter would come, and through His Spirit, we are empowered, purified, and sent out to serve. But before we can be used, we must be emptied of self and surrendered to Him.

Join us as we dive into Scripture, the story behind this beautiful hymn, and a powerful historical illustration reminding us that real effectiveness comes when we let the Holy Spirit flow freely through our lives.

Let's open our hearts to His work — and live as true channels for His glory!

In this episode of HIS Story: Through Scripture | Song | Testimony we continue our From the Cross to the Crown series with the moving hymn Man of Sorrows! What a Name (#127 in the Great Hymns of the Faith Hymnal). This episode dives into the heart of Christ’s compassion and suffering—how the King of Glory became the Man of Sorrows, willingly taking on our grief, shame, and sin.

Drawing on powerful passages from Isaiah 53, Philippians 2, and 1 Thessalonians 4, we explore the profound truth of substitutionary atonement and the radical, outrageous grace that led Jesus to endure rejection and crucifixion. As we reflect on each verse, we’re reminded of the reality that while the Son of God suffered for us, His victory over death promises a glorious return.
