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

Embracing the ‘But’

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!
