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.

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: 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!
Sunday Supernaturally: Time for a re-boot?
As we go to church today, let’s take a look at why we do what we do. Faith takes action based on the instruction of the Lord and expects the fulfillment of the attached promise. There's so much more to this life than empty ritual!
Sunday Supernaturally: Qualified for Greatness
Philip was a regular guy who simply agreed to help when asked. His qualifications were a good reputation, a solid faith, a heart to serve, and the ability and willingness to follow the leading of the Spirit along the way. These same qualifications will allow any of us to go from being churchgoers to being world changers.
Sunday Supernaturally: Shaken and Stirred
Today is Sunday. Most of us say we want to see the Gospel preached with power and miracles performed in the name of Jesus. If these things are not happening, there are things you can do to help.
Sunday Supernaturally: Do it Again, Lord!
What would happen if God moved like He did after Pentecost? I don’t know, but I want to find out. I want to be part of a movement where the Word is priority #1, where the people are passionate about each other, where prayer is always on the menu, and the sense of His Presence permeates the atmosphere. Lord, do it again!
Sunday Supernaturally: Let God be God
The Holy Spirit wants to show off, but He's a gentleman and won't interrupt our coffee klatch, amateur concert, and self-help pep talk unless we want Him to. His desire is to move us out into the world and enable us to speak words that they can hear.
Lead a Life of Prayer
Paul repeatedly talked about constant prayer, but we tend to ignore it, reserving our "prayer time" for a few moments in the morning or on the drive to work. It’s time to rethink the instructions to ”pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), “be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12), and “praying at all times in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18). Jesus is our example. We’re never alone, but we’re often out of touch. Lead a life of prayer.
