And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 1 Corinthians 15:17 ESV He's alive. That changed everything.

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.
Embracing the ‘But’
One of the most frightening phrases God could utter is, "OK. Have it your way." Yet how often we go blindly forward, using our own best efforts and ideas? There's a better way. Insert a "but" before every step. Don't live life without a "but."
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?

Sunday Supernaturally: Fill me, Lord!
“Lord I long for you. I crave your presence. I earnestly desire the fellowship of your people. I hunger for the teaching of your precious and holy written word. Your words are life and health to those who find them. I am going searching today. You said seek and you will find. I am seeking, and I will find, in Jesus’ Name.”
Sunday Supernaturally: Maybe it’s Time
I pray for a great revival one more time before I leave this earth. This is a story about a place where God moved and dramatically changed lives. Maybe it's our turn.
Sunday Supernaturally: Fall, Holy Spirit, Fall!
If you’re like me, you don’t want to go to church to get a lecture, you want an encounter. In the Book of Acts was see moments when theology is united with Holy Spirit power to demonstrate, not just describe. Fall, Holy Spirit!
