The Communication Gifts | Empowered (Part 4)

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 004), I conclude our “Empowered” series by diving into the communication gifts of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12: prophecy, different kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Together we walk through Scripture to discover why these gifts are still for the Church today, how they are meant to operate in biblical order, and why the Holy Spirit’s power was never intended to divide believers, but to point people to Jesus. We explore Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12–14, and powerful real-life testimony showing how the gifts of the Spirit can transform lives, strengthen faith, and reveal the reality of God’s presence. If you have ever wrestled with questions about spiritual gifts, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or what it means to walk in God’s power today, this message will challenge and encourage you to seek more of the Holy Spirit and everything God desires to do through your life. – Travis Rutland

The Power Gifts | Empowered (Part 3)

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 003), I continue our series on the gifts of the Spirit by looking at the power gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12: faith, gifts of healings, and the working of miracles. Together, we’ll walk through Scripture and discover how faith is not measured by a perfect outcome, but by a refusal to stop asking, believing, and trusting in who Jesus is. From Acts 3, Acts 8, Acts 12, and Luke 18, we see that God is still healing bodies, restoring hearts, and working miracles today. This message is for anyone carrying physical pain, emotional wounds, spiritual trauma, or impossible situations. We’ll talk about Peter’s restoration after denying Jesus, the healing power of God that reaches beyond the physical, and why persistent faith unlocks the miraculous. No matter what report you’ve received or what burden you’ve carried for years, Jesus is still able. Don’t stop asking. Don’t stop believing. – Travis Rutland

The Intuitive Gifts | Empowered (Part 2)

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 002), I continue our series on the gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12, focusing on the intuitive gifts—word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits. These are not natural abilities, but supernatural gifts the Holy Spirit distributes as He wills, often speaking into situations, people, and spiritual atmospheres in ways that go beyond human understanding, as seen throughout the book of Acts. Join me as we learn how the Holy Spirit still speaks today, how to walk in humility, and how to discern what is truly from God versus what only appears spiritual on the surface. My prayer is that this message strengthens your faith, sharpens your discernment, and draws you deeper into a Spirit-filled life that bears fruit for the Kingdom. — Travis Rutland

What Are the Gifts | Empowered (Part 1)

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 001), I begin a foundational series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Turning to Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12, I teach what the gifts are, how they operate, and why Jesus first promised power before manifestations. As a Pentecostal, Spirit-filled church, we believe these gifts are active for today and given for the strengthening of the body of Christ. The gifts are diverse, distributed by the Holy Spirit, and given to every believer for the profit of all. But more than chasing gifts, we must first receive the power of the Holy Spirit that transforms us, frees us, and equips us to live boldly for Christ. Do not neglect what God has placed in you—ask, receive, and walk in the power He promised. — Travis Rutland
