Rest Like Jesus

What if the Christian life is less about admiring Jesus from a distance and more about imitating His rhythms? You can't experience His life while rejecting His lifestyle. Pastor Terrence began this new series called "Live Like Jesus" by tackling one of the hardest rhythms to practice: REST. Jesus just didn't rest when He ran out of energy. Jesus rested because He trusted His Father more than His circumstances and because intimacy with the Father precedes ministry. The work is finished. You can trust and rest in Him!

Spirit of Fire, Welcome ...

This week we we didn't just talk about the Holy Spirit - we encountered Him through seven spiritual practices: silence, welcoming prayer, lament, Lectio Devina, communion, centering prayer, and celebration. These seven practices reposition our hearts to hear from the Holy Spirit, where He waits for our consent to work within us. Will you welcome Him and learn the unforced rhythms of Grace?

Fire Extinguished

Pastor Anthony's message confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: It's entirely possible to be a good Christian, attend Church regularly, and serve faithfully all the while missing the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible gives us a sober warning: The Holy Spirit of God can be grieved, quenched, and resisted. Are you playing it safe with a sanitized Christianity or will you risk discomfort for Spirit-led transformation?

Burnt Soil

In this message, Judy takes us deeper into Galatians 5:16-26, revealing a spiritual reality that every believer faces: the constant battle between our sinful nature and the Holy Spirit of God. We learn that transformation isn't about trying harder or following more rules - it's about who we allow to lead our lives. The call is clear: let the Holy Spirit lead every part of our lives so we can look like Jesus in a world that desperately needs Him!

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!
