"The anointing enables us to do what we can’t on our own." We cannot do what God has called to without a special gifting from him! Without a gifting, accomplishment yields emptiness and brokenness.

Revival is kind of a buzz word... bringing up images of massive gatherings with Spirit-inspired worship, powerful messages, and massive church growth. But what we forget is that revival is personal too! We sometimes find ourselves in ruts, caught up in the death that plagues the world around us.  God wants to revive us. How can we open ourselves back up to the power of God and allow personal reviv...

If we lived in Bible times, priests would be a small group of people that wear certain clothes and have specific jobs in the temple. But in the Kingdom of God... everyday people like you and me are considered priests. So. How exactly does that work?

Sin is serious. So often inside and outside of church, the terrible evils that we do are simply swept under the rug.

How do the Father's gifts differ from the Spirit's? Well, we might have talents, special abilities, certain tasks that our minds complete naturally. These we can recognize as gifts that the Father has given to all people regardless of their devotion to him. However, we must take the responsibility on our shoulders to develop them and use them for his glory. If you're looking for more sermons and d...

The donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday is often overlooked. Understandably so... I mean... his rider was JESUS after all. But this Sunday we look at the donkey as an indicator of the responsibility we have as believers, the attitude Jesus had in his triumphant entry, and the peace that Jesus foreshadowed he would bring. All this just from the lowly donkey. If you're looking for m...
