In this sermon, we explore the powerful message of reconciliation with God. We delve into the idea that God has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus and given us the "ministry of reconciliation".We discuss how this mission, while seemingly impossible in our own strength, becomes possible through the Holy Spirit's empowerment. We are not alone; God has sent someone just like Jesus to be with us.We also differentiate between the "gospel of salvation" and the "gospel of the Kingdom," emphasizing that salvation is merely the starting point.Finally, we highlight the ABCs of this mission:Accept the Mission: Our salvation is not private; we must embrace the responsibility of reconciliation.Believe the Mission: We must genuinely believe that Jesus is the only way, truth, and life.Carry Out the Mission: We are called to live out this mission daily, acting as ambassadors for Christ in a world desperately searching for answers. We are simply passing through, our job is to bring as many people with us as possible.

In this episode, we tackle a common question: Do you need to speak in tongues to go to heaven? We dive into what it means to be saved, the role of the Holy Spirit, and whether speaking in tongues or healing is a requirement for salvation.Join us as we discuss the biblical understanding of salvation, the filling of the Holy Spirit, and the purpose of spiritual gifts. We explore the difference between being born of the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit, and how these concepts relate to a believer's life.If you're seeking clarity on these important spiritual topics, this episode is for you!

Join us as we dive into the powerful truth of reconciliation! 🤝 We explore how God transforms us into new creations, not recycled versions. ✨ This isn't just a mindset; it's a complete change where the old is gone, and everything becomes new through God. We'll challenge the idea that all reconciliation is godly, highlighting that God only wants us connected to what's right. We'll also tackle "cancel culture" in the church and how it pushes aside forgiveness and reconciliation. We believe God has the solution for all, through Christ! Learn how living for Christ means accepting Him as Messiah, not just a good teacher. Consider your relationship with God: Is He a demanding Pharaoh or a loving Father who has already approved you by grace? God is still in the business of redemption, turning messes into testimonies of faith! 🙏 Reconciliation begins with God's pursuit of us. Sin created separation, but the cross brought restoration. It was God in Christ reconciling the world, and now that ministry lives in us! #relationalhealth #reconciliation #church #sundayservice #sundaymessage

What's up, everyone! 👋 In this episode of "What Was That About?", we're diving deep into something super important: how self-awareness ties into your spiritual journey. We're talking about how your spiritual growth actually has a ceiling, and that ceiling is your self-awareness. We're going to break down why this idea, which a lot of people might not agree with, is actually spot-on. Plus, we'll look at some classic examples from the Bible – think Cain, David, and Peter – and see how their lack of self-awareness held them back spiritually.We also get into "the mind of Christ" and how it's not just something you automatically get. It takes real effort and an open mind to tap into it. And we'll tackle the tricky situation where some spiritual leaders, kind of like the religious bigwigs in Jesus's time, might seem super spiritual but are actually missing that key self-awareness, using their faith as a "crutch".So, how do we actually build this self-awareness? We've got three practical tips for you:1. Get real and honest with yourself and God. Like David said, "Search me, God, and know my heart".2. Invite others into your life for accountability. Sometimes you need a "Nathan" to point out those blind spots you can't see. Leaders, especially, shouldn't be isolated.3. Keep learning and be open to unlearning old habits and emotional responses. It's about growing into a healthier you.Thanks for tuning in to "What Was That About?"!

In this powerful sermon, delve into the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues and its interpretation. This isn't something we create, but rather a gift bestowed by the Spirit of God.This message emphasizes that the initial outpouring of Pentecost, where 120 people in the upper room spoke in tongues, was the first manifestation the Spirit of God gave. This included both known and unknown languages, as evidenced by devout men from various places understanding these "uneducated people" speaking in their native tongues.The gift of tongues is described as a "hotline of the spirit" , a language that bypasses the cognitive mind, allowing direct communication between God's Spirit and ours. It's a way to pray prayers that one might not in their cognitive mind, as the spirit knows what is needed.The purpose of tongues is for:Personal edification Spirit-led prayer and worship A sign to the unbeliever Evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit An expression of surrender and praise #speakingintounges #holyspirit #pentecost

Let's discuss the importance of Pentecost and the role of the Holy Spirit in the church and in the life of every believer.Pentecost Sunday deserves more emphasis than it typically receives, considering the early church was characterized by being "spirit-filled and spirit-led". This conversation highlights that the Holy Spirit is essential for Christian life, empowering believers and enabling supernatural experiences.It's time for the church to return to its Pentecostal roots and emphasize the Holy Spirit's role in transformation, healing, and fulfilling the Great Commission. As the church, are we more focused on cultural trends than on biblical principles?
