Consuming Fire (Part 2)

Pastor Allen completed our study on spiritual gifts with focus on the often misunderstood charismatic gifts of prophecy, discerning spirits, tongues, and interpret tongues. These gifts are God's power surge flowing through your abilities to empower you for mission and strengthening the Church. Your spiritual gifts aren't discovered through personality tests, but activated by serving. The Holy Spirit wants to do more through you!

Consuming Fire (Part 1)

Pastor Allen challenged us to reconsider what it truly means to be filled with the Holy Spirit and what makes us uniquely us. While we all possess unique personalities and developed abilities, there's a third dimension many of us leave untapped - our spiritual gifting. God wants to fill us so our cups overflow. Don't settle for living out of personality and talent alone. He has more waiting for you!

Fire Falls Down

The same Spirit who brings us to life at salvation also desires to fill and empower us in a deeper, more experiential way. The Bible describes the baptism of the Holy Spirit, not as a replacement for salvation, but as a subsequent work of God that empowers the believer. The Holy Spirit not only gives us life at salvation, but also fills and empowers us for bold, Spirit-led living.

Ashes To Embers

Something crucial is missing from the Christian life in the Western church today. While we celebrate salvation as the finish line, Jesus made it clear that salvation is actually the starting line. The "more" that many of us are desperately seeking isn't found in better programs, more knowledge, or increased activity—it's found in the person and power of the Holy Spirit. This message, the first of a 4 week series, challenges & encourages us to experience the fire that once burned in the hearts of early believers.

The Hardest Person To Love: Modern Lessons From St. Bernard

How many of us have tried to give love, serve others, and live righteously while running on empty because we have never learned to receive the love God has for us? This message challenged a common misconception in Christian circles: that humility means diminishing ourselves. Instead, Scripture declares we are God's masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: we cannot give what we do not have, and we cannot offer love if we are unable to receive love from God first.
