Seventy
"Seventy" - based on the book by Dr. Eugene T Wilson
Everyone Needs a Team!
Lesson 3
With Dr. Wilson's help, we have looked at our misguided expectations and how teams match with our purpose. This week we will consider how we can adjust our outlook to be one of progression within God's kingdom rather than maintenance of what we currently have. We must know what philosophies and principles guide our actions so that we can truly work alongside God in His effort to save all mankind.
Lesson 2
God has no interest in seeing any church struggle let alone our church. He wants workers for the field of harvest, and as we discovered last time, the pastor can't do it all. So, why should we consider implementing a team based approach? Bro. Wilson wants us to know and see the benefits of building a ministry team. This week we will look at what God can do with a proper team to improve and enrich our church and the city of Duluth as a result.
Lesson 1
Altars
Series: Altars
In this series we will dig into the meaning, design, and purpose of an altar in our lives. God has used altars in interacting with humanity for thousands of years, and it is important that we take the time to understand how this essential piece of furniture continues to impact the church today. We will answer who used them, how they were used, what went on them, and so much more. Bring your pen or pencil and get ready to see how altars alter our lives.
Lesson 4
This is our last week of learning about altars in our lives. We looked at what altars were and are previously and what kinds of gifts are acceptable on the altar. This week we will bring all of this together. We must know what our responsibility is toward the altar, and how we can belong to the new covenant.
Lesson 3
Previously we looked at what an altar was and is. Then we spoke on our need for atonement and where that altar fits in our lives. In our next lesson, we will discover the ways altars connect us to God both in the past and in our modern culture. Come ready to go in depth on everything altar.
Lesson 2
Last week, we looked at what an altar was and what it means. This week, we will discover how atonement and altars work together and why we need atonement in our lives. God makes it clear what offerings will qualify for atonement and which simply won’t do both historically and for ourselves today. To be in right standing with God, we need atonement, so come ready to see the first method for applying an altar to our lives today.

Spiritual Gifts
Series: "Spiritual Gifts" - July 7, 2024 - August 25, 2024
The apostle Paul was emphatic that the New Testament church be familiar with and actively exercise the gifts of the Spirit. Combining scriptural analysis with contemporary examples, David K. Bernard describes the supernatural spiritual gifts of revelation, power, and utterance that God has granted His church. He draws from numerous personal experiences in church planting and overseas missions on five continents, as well as years of biblical study, to paint a vivid portrait of the spiritual gifts of I Corinthians 12. Bernard explains, 'Every Spirit-filled person can potentially exercise any of the spiritual gifts as God wills and enables, and God intends for them to operate within every local body of believers.' He challenges, 'Let us allow God's Spirit to flow through us, and let us exercise simple faith to receive God's miraculous gifts.' You will be both enlightened and inspired as you read biblical and modern accounts of the gifts of the Spirit.
