Send us Fan MailLast week, we dove into Scripture and studied the Personhood of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor C will walk through 10 of the attributes and roles that the Holy Spirit works through, in and for us!  Don't miss this powerful teaching about the vital work of the 3rd Member of the Trinity!

Send us Fan MailMany people think of a "power, force, or a ghost" when they think of the Holy Spirit - or perhaps a "dove" or "fire".  But the Holy Spirit is a Person. He is God. He has a heart, thoughts, a personality and is a vital part of the Trinity!

Send us Fan MailWe don't know her name.... Or her age, or anything about her, except: she was a slave - living behind enemy lines. But 1,800 years before Christ, this young girl captured the heart of Jesus before He Himself came to become a servant, and thought of others before Himself. Today, Pastor Michael dives into the intriguing story of an unknown slave - who points us directly to the heart of the King!! 

Send us Fan MailMost of us know that the Wilderness is a "testing place" - but many miss that it is also supposed to be a "changing place"... for our hearts and attitudes! In a culture that tells individuals to be controlled by their emotions (instead of the other way around), Jesus teaches us to choose and control our attitudes - and for our own good!

Send us Fan Mail"God Wills" - Deus Vult. When the Israelites were promised the Promised Land - they discovered that every promise has problems... enemies to conquer. And demon idols to completely tear down and remove from the land. God has directives for us today as well - and we dare not allow sin or compromise or self-righteous pride to live in the life God is calling us to, today. Deus Vult - we are called to live for God's glory and will!

Send a textSome people may associate the Holy Spirit with a "feeling" they get when they pray or encounter God - and certainly there are many times that we can feel His presence and influence - but the Holy Spirit is FAR MORE than just a "feeling" - He is the Third Member of the Trinity, and among many things, He is the source of our power, our freedom and our boldness!!  Join us as Pastor Michael teaches the power of "stepping into the powerful and liberating wind" of the Holy Spirit!

Send a textThere is truly only ONE filter through which true followers of Jesus must filter every decision: "Will this please Jesus?"  Paul described this as "our aim" - our one goal in life... but we must beware of the "sucker shoots"!!

Join us Sunday at 10am as Pastor C unpacks the "pruning process" we must all diligently participate in, if we are going to live lives that please Jesus - and bear much fruit.
