The book of Acts provides a model for what it really means to be the Church, with a focus on rediscovering the impact and importance of the Holy Spirit’s movement through the first church. If we are going to become the people that God wants us to be today we need to live by the Spirit and the supernatural power and presence that God has put inside all of us.
If we're going to be people of faith...we've got to wait.
We've got to pray. We've got to ask, we got to depend, we got to trust, not in ourselves but in the gift that God promised in the one that He's given us the Holy Spirit.
We want to feel good about ourselves. We we want to go to church and just get a little pick me up. “Just tell me God love me and send me on my way...."
If we're just encouraged all the time we may never change. We need to be convicted because there's things in our lives where we are not in step with God’s best for us.
“We have been partners in spreading the Good News of Jesus.” This is what we are going after.
We want to make people alive again through Jesus just like he has done in us. We want everyone to come alive in Jesus. So who are the people close to you but far from God? We are a fellowship on purpose built around people coming alive in Jesus.
There’s no bottom that you can hit that Jesus won’t restore and redeem you....
Guest speaker Jon Tisevich joins us in week four of our Ghost Stories series to remind us that with God, things can change. There isn't anything we can do to make God love us less and even in the darkest of places, God will meet us there and bring us back to Him.
God uses our gifts to change our world but He also changes us as we give...
We're not just changing lives and meeting needs, but we're also saying thank you when we give it's like “God, you've given us so much. Thank you. Here's some back.” The question is, are we giving? Like it's all God's? Or are we gripping? Like it's all ours? There's a big difference.
Partnership with God always means partnership with His people....
God brings good people around us to help bring out the best in us. This is by design. This is the way God meant for us to thrive … and not just survive. We were meant for partnership.
Have you ever been in one of those situations where you think that you're in a place for one reason, but God has you there for a completely different reason?
God has a funny way of using us in the times and situations where we least expect it. We call these divine appointments. Listen in as we learn how we can make a difference if we did what it says in James “Don't just listen to the word. Do what it says.”
