Having been born of the Spirit, we have God’s life in us. We are children, not slaves, and we are created righteous and holy by nature (Ephesians 4:24). This God-life is a free gift. The Spirit has given us new life, now our life’s quest is learning to “keep in step with the Spirit.”
Sunday Supernaturally: One Accord, One Place, and…
A few weeks ago our pastor had a word in the Sunday morning service. The gist of it was that we should be alert and ready for some things to happen "suddenly". That really resonated with me. Our expectations need to be raised.
Sunday Supernaturally: Suddenly, It’s 2024!
In 2024, we have the opportunity to experience the power and love of God in ways most of us find hard to imagine. The world's crises are the Church's invitation to shine. It's miracle time!
2024: It’s Miracle Time!
"As we head into a year of uncharted instability, let’s remember who we are, whose we are, and why we are. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty. We are here to make an impact, not hide in our holes."

Sunday Supernaturally: God is With Us
God is with us. That’s one of the great reminders that Christmas brings. God the Son became one of us so that He could be one with us. Whatever the situation, He's got your back. Merry Christmas!
Let’s Stay Out of the Ditch
Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Receiving is a good thing, it’s just not as good as giving! Therein lies the key to staying out of the ditch on both sides of the road. I want to avoid greed and covetousness, but I also don’t want to overcorrect and glorify lack.
Sunday Supernaturally: The Oracles of God
Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. 1 Peter 4:11 NLT
