We are going to look at the manifestation of the Spirit in Miracles and in Healing. We believe that these manifestations are alive and active on earth today and will give some examples in modern day local families who we know. We are going to talk about why God does these things, and teach about how to spot the real from the fake.
Faith
We are going to look at the doctrines of faith as we approach the next Manifestation Of The Holy Spirit in Faith. We will see the biblical examples of 5 types of faith, including an intellectual faith that does not save, a rocky faith that does not sustain, a saving faith that submits to the life of Christ in us, a growing faith that develops over time, and the manifestation of the faith of God to empower us for mighty acts of service, and bolds leaps of faith.
Gift of Giving
We are going to look at the spiritual gift of giving as well as the doctrines of giving. We have discovered that many in our church have never heard about the doctrines of giving and have been surprised as they learned about what the Word says. Since there is not much to be said about the gift of giving, we are going to use this as an opportunity to deal with giving in the body of christ in general as well.
Serving Is Ministry
We will unpack the spiritual gift of Ministry/Service. We will look at the value of serving in the average Christians life and the spiritual gift of service that empowers some Christians for exceptional service.
Spiritual Gifts Intro
This is an introduction message to spiritual gifts. We will talk about the difference between the spiritual gifts listed in Romans 12, the manifestations of the Spirit when using gifts as listed in 1st Corinthians, and the spiritual offices listed in Ephesians. We will discuss why God gives us such gifts and we will prepare ourselves to begin to look at each gift individually as we progress through this mini series.

We learned that anything that we do that can bring glory to God must be done out of the overflow of our life in Christ. With these lessons in mind, we move forward in our sermon series to discover the truth that life in Christ leads us to obedience to Him.
Betrayal Of Jesus
Bible Text: John 13: 21-30, Matthew 26: 20-25, Romans 8: 28, Genesis 50:20 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Gospel of John | Jesus Christ was betrayed by a member of his core team. A man who he hand selected to be one of his original leadership team members had faked sincerity and was motivated toward fellowship with this group for selfish reasons.

Christmas Presents
Bible Text: Mathew 2:11 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Christmas Traditions | We are taking a look at the biblical precedent for many of our American Christmas traditions. As we do, we notice how many of them have become perverted from their original intentions, and we will seek ways as a church to redeem these fallen traditions in the strong name of Jesus Christ!

Diversity in Theology
Bible Text: John 9: 1-12, Matthew 5:45, Romans 8:28, 2 Corinthians 4:17 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Gospel of John | How is it possible that there can be such a diversity in Christian beliefs when these same churches are being lead by Godly people who are honestly seeking Gods direction?

Not Of This World
Bible Text: John 8: 21-30, Matthew 24:35, Revelation 21:1 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Gospel of John | Jesus explained that his kingdom is not of this world. For those who do not belong to Christ, understanding the things of heaven is like us trying to understand some alien technology. But for those of us who are citizens of God’s kingdom, the matters that Jesus teaches are as plain to understand as any other every day situation.
Light Of The World

All who follow him will walk in the light of God, and those who do not know God will remain in the darkness that is our sinful life.
Heart Like Gods
Bible Text: Luke 4:42-44, Matthew 24:14, Mark 1:35 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: What We Are All About | As we grow more mature in our relationship with Christ, our heart will long for the things God’s heart longs for more and more. The more God lives in us, the less attracted we become to the things that do not attract God, and the more passionate we become about the things that God is passionate about.
Glow
Bible Text: Romans 10:14, John 12: 45-46, Hebrews 1:1-3, Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 5:16 | Preacher: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: What We Are All About | One of the most important relationships in the life of a disciple is the relationship between us and the community of the lost around us. Therefore, a value of our church is its relationship with our neighborhood. We are called to be a light in the world, and we live in a dark world. Therefore, a disciple is one who will glow in the dark!

It takes regular time spent in fellowship, even daily, to be in a healthy relationship with God.
