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.

The Wonder of Creation: According to Genesis, everything we see was created by God. Yet, as adults, we can sometimes lose our ability to grasp the wonder of God's creation. In this series, Jeremy Painter encourages us to revisit the wonder of creation through the eyes of a child. If creation is awe-inducing, how much more the creator?
Jesus’ command to “go make disciples” is the foundational precept of the Great Commission. In this series we will explore the church’s critical mandate to make disciples from biblical, theoretical, and practical viewpoints. This series will motivate and encourage every believer to make disciples.
We all want a life of meaning and purpose, and almost everywhere we turn someone is telling us how to find fulfillment. And despite all those voices of guidance, our modern culture is one of loneliness, anxiety and depression. What if God has other plans for us, and we have missed them? In this compact series by Rev. Ken Gurley, we will explore the big questions in life like:
- What is my purpose for being here?
- Where do I fit in the kingdom of God?
- What is my place and where do I belong?
In searching for these answers, we will unlock God's heart and design for his most beloved creation, people. Join us as we unwrap the Four Tables.
