This plan was inspired by a song entitled ‘The Dove’. It considers Scriptures from across the Bible, touching on Eden, Noah, Jesus and Pentecost.

As we consider Pentecost, this plan gives a more robust understanding around the power and wonder of the creative work of the Spirit. If you're up for some meat, let's go.
