There's nothing more frustrating than having a job to do, and not having the power to get it done. (Remember the battery dying in your car, your remote control, your cordless drill, etc...) The church has a job to do, a glorious job that requires great power, but where has all the power gone? In this episode, Kevin explores the question of how we can regain the power we need to be the church we were created to be.
We have been created to live beyond our natural abilities and skills! We were designed for a filling. This week we tackle part two on the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
We will pick up where Kevin left off last week { check out part one on our resources page } and dig into the Scriptures together. We will discover God's intentions for us as a people filled with His Spirit. We will answer burning questions like: What can I expect to happen when I am filled with the Holy Spirit? Who can be filled? What if nothing happens when I pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit? How can I be filled with power to live out this life that God gave?
The baptism of the Holy Spirit: What is it? Where is it in the bible? Is it just for a few super-christians? Will it make me...weird? If it's such a good thing, why don't more churches embrace it? Questions abound regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Kevin talks about what the bible says about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and why Jesus said, "You want this, church!"
What’s Next? In this episode, we wrap up our series: Expect the Unexpected. So, Easter is over. The whole world had been shaken upside. No one would ever expect that Jesus would have died on the cross and then risen from the grave! And true to form, no one would ever expect what He would do next. What is life really like in the reality of His resurrection. What does this mean for us today? What are His resurrection priorities for our lives? Let’s follow the next chapter of the story… you will never guess what’s next!
In this episode we celebrate Easter and all that comes with expecting what we cannot expect!
Need a fresh view on life? Need a reason to raise a 'WOO-HOO'!? Can a bit of celebration add to your life right now? Join the crowds that lined the street for Jesus on this Palm Sunday without a time travel machine! In this episode, we will take another look at the reason to stay in hope. Let God raise your expectation!
This life is designed for great gains! Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6 that we can’t take our money and material possessions with us- that our earthly gains have a shelf life! How do we live with eternity in view? How do we live a life that equates to great gains? We will finish up a study on life’s big equation: godliness + contentment = great gains. Let’s look at the contentment part of the equation and build towards a life that has this description at the end: great gains!
The potential eternal impact our generosity, wise decisions, Kingdom investments and trusting hearts can make is astonishing. We're beginning to catch faith for the blessing of God that goes way beyond bank accounts and paychecks once we live rightly connected to our money. In this episode, Molly continues this powerful series with one big equation. This big equation is more than math: it lays out a plan for additional gain that we are designed to know!
Jesus lays out pitfalls and potentials for life on this earth. He shares God’s heart for growth in our lives through a parable about a farmer, some seed and some soil. In this episode, we will dig into His story and pursue healthy habits that yield great return!
