The Holy Spirit | Listening To The Spirit

We want to be filled with the Spirit. We want to follow the Spirit. How do we KNOW what the Spirit is up to in our lives? How do we listen to the Spirit? 

The Holy Spirit | Putting the "Holy" in "Holy Spirit" (Acts 5)

(Watch Online) We have talked a lot about the "Spirit" part of "Holy Spirit" but what about the "Holy"?  What does it mean that the Spirit of God is Holy? And what should that look like if the Spirit lives in us?

The Holy Spirit | Everyone, Everywhere (Acts 2)

(Watch Online)The Spirit is about to do something nobody expected! 

The Spirit, the Church and Loving Others

The Spirit is focused on creating a church where we love one another. 2020 has been a challenging year for love, the church and fellowship. The Spirit wants us to return to a focus of love. 

The Holy Spirit | Spirit Q&R

Today we hit pause on our chronological approach to the Spirit and tackled some awesome audience submitted questions about the Holy Spirit. 

What is Wrong with the World? (Christmas 2020)

(Watch Online) Whether or not we realize it we are all wondering what is wrong with the world and who will fix it? There are hundreds of suggestions but only one answer. Everything else will fail to diagnose the problem and fall short of providing a solution. 

The Holy Spirit | The Experience (Part 2)

(Watch Online) We expect to have an emotional experience when we fall in love, get married, have children, and any other major human milestone. But what are we supposed to experience when we have the Spirit? Jesus' answer may surprise you.

The Holy Spirit | The Experience (Part 1)

(Watch Online) What should the disciple expect to experience with the Spirit? 

The Holy Spirit | Jesus' Secret Power

(Watch Online) The secret to Jesus' success was that He didn't have a secret. He was fully in tune with the empowering Spirit of God and promised that we would all have access to the same Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit | The Breath Returns (Ezekiel 37)

(Watch Online) From the very beginning, the Spirit of God has been turning that which is dark, formless and empty and creating beauty and life...He can do that for you too!

The Holy Spirit | The Wind of God (Gen 1)

The Spirit is intriguing, confusing, and strange. However, the idea is essential to our discipleship. Where do we start with such a crucial topic? At the beginning of course!

Not To Get Political...

(Watch Online) - This has been an ugly political season. If we truly want our country (or ANY country) to be better, disciples must first focus on being better citizens of the Kingdom.

All Authority | Part Three - All Everyone

Jesus took his final words to declare that he had all authority and then to ask his disciples to do something completely unexpected.

All Authority | Part Two - All Everything

If Jesus is king, what should that look like in your life? 

All Authority | Part One - All Allegiance

Humans, especially those of us who are American humans, have a tricky relationship with the concept of "authority". It doesn't have a comfortable place to fit in our theology. So what do we do when Jesus claims to "all authority"? What can and should that mean for our discipleship?

Myth & Mystery | Part Five - The Spirit

The Spirit is no myth, but He is a mystery. How should we expect the Spirit to lead the church today?

Myth & Mystery | Part Four - Faithfully Flexible.

Everyone wants to be part of an awesome church. So, what makes a church great? 

Myth & Mystery | Part Four - Is God Insecure?

Most Christians hear the word "worship" and think "Sunday morning singing". But why does God need to sing nice things about him anyway? Is He really so insecure? If we dig in a little we learn that worship is SO much more than singing and it's not for God's benefit at all. In fact, worship is the only logical response to recognizing the character of God.  

Myth & Mystery | Part Two - Different & Difficult

We have this myth in America that we can do it alone, that we don't need anyone else. Well, a quick examination of just about anything in life proves that myth false. When that bad idea makes its way into the church it can wreak havoc. God is glorified when we work hard to glorify God with "one mind and one voice". 

Myth & Mystery | Part One - What Is Church?

(Watch Online) "Church" doesn't evoke the enthusiasm that you read about in the pages of Scripture. Not a whole lot of people get excited and more than a few are even suspicious about the whole endeavor. It's because we've have bought into myths and misunderstandings about what it is and what it is for. What is church? The answer should blow us away.
