“THIS IS OUR COUNTER-CULTURAL MOMENT; AN ANTITHESIS FOR OUR CURRENT REALITY.”

Dan Sheed shares on Ephesians 4, and how as gifted people we all play a part in equipping each other towards maturity.
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. ... As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
Dan Sheed continues our "Gifted" series, looking at the gift of healing and why God heals as well as what is happening when we're not healed.
“One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”
Dan Sheed continues our "Gifted" series, looking at the gift of faith and how it makes us the bridge between the broken and the holy.
“Faith alone is certainty. Everything but faith is subject to doubt. Jesus Christ alone is the certainty of our faith.”
Cameron Thorp shares in our "Gifted" series on the gift of service, and how it changes the way we will see what God is doing and how we will see people.
“The gift of service is foundational to all the other gifts. We are in the pass it on business.”
Georgia Johnstone shares in our "Gifted" series, looking at the gift of discernment and how it works in our lives.
“Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. The ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically.”
Strahan Coleman shares in our "Gifted" series, looking at the gift of prophecy and how we can practice it everyday.
“But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them.”
“We’re a Charismatic church: we believe that in our weak and limited state, the gifts are given to us all by the Holy Spirit, to be used to continue the mission of God.”
“The discovery of God lies in the daily and the ordinary, not in the spectacular and the heroic. If we cannot find God in the routines of home and shop, then we will not find Him at all.”
“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
