It's Father’s Day. If anybody should be grateful for having a good father, it’s us. People have all kinds of reactions to the idea of “father” based on their own experience. My earthly dad was a nice enough guy, but when I found out how good my Heavenly Father is, it blew me away!

It’s Pentecost! This is that!
From the very first moments of this age of the Spirit, God has been moving in ways that are tangible, that we can see and hear. We the people of the Spirit are not just teaching a theoretical faith. The Holy Spirit is not a doctrine, He’s a person. This is that.
Sunday Supernaturally: Less Petition, More Praise
Most of us spend way too much time asking God to give us things He's already given and do things He's already done. What we need is a revelation of what it means to be "in Him." Let's pray for that.
Sunday Supernaturally: Holy Spirit, Guide!
As you cruise through your day, pay attention. God will move you to the right spot, talking to the right person, with just the right word. Maybe even as you go into church today. You are on a mission. He has a plan. Follow it.
People Need Purpose
One of the more common phrases in our Christian world is “I’m going to pray about it.” In this case we’re talking about praying about God’s direction and purpose for your life and ministry. So what does that mean? How do I “look out to see what he will say to me”?
Sunday Supernaturally: A Lystra Kind of Day
A story in the Bible is not just "a bible story." God put it there for a reason. What can I learn? Does my relationship with God look like the one in this story? It's meant to be inspirational and aspirational, and transformational. Let's go to Lystra.
Sunday Supernaturally: Clean the Atmosphere
Satan is a remarkably faithful member of most churches. One of his jobs is to distract, disrupt, and generally impede the flow of the Word and the Spirit. We don't have to allow him to succeed. Take a minute to clean house before every service.
The Holy Spirit Speaks
Church was designed to be more than a few songs and a short speech. Our spiritual heritage is to recieve a fresh download from Heaven every time we meet. Let's not settle for less.
Update from Pastor Virgil
The extraordinary hunger we see for the things of God tells me that something is happening. Lord, help us move to feed the sheep. Maybe more important, help us get hungry ourselves, hungry for You, for your presence, and for your Word.
Sunday Supernaturally: Desire Spiritual Gifts
Our gatherings are supposed to be so much more than an encouraging talk and an amateur music concert. They are to be a living encounter with God. His Spirit is there to move through His people for the edification of the body. Why don't we see these things?
