Guest speaker Aaron Hardy explores the character of the prophet, emphasizing that their role is deeply rooted in embodying the way of Jesus. He explains that the prophetic life is about how faithfully we live in step with Christ’s example and the way of Jesus is prophetic as it leads us into ordinary life.

Sharon talks us through the gift of prophecy and how hearing God’s voice can feel distant and challenging. She reminds us that God is always present and inviting us into deeper connection. Through leaning in, practicing, and becoming intentional, we can learn to recognize His voice in everyday moments and grow in our prophetic gifting.

Sam continues the Gifts of the Spirit series by emphasizing that all spiritual gifts (except for the gift of tongues) are meant to build up and bless others in the body of Christ. He explained that the gift of tongues serves to deepen our personal and intimate relationship with God through private prayer. All of these gifts are exercised not by our own strength, but through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

Guest speaker Annette Harvey discusses the many gifts of the Spirit, reminding us that while there are various spiritual gifts, they all come from the same Holy Spirit. She explains that these gifts are both blessings and tools meant to be used for God’s purposes and offers practical insights into how we can begin to discover and grow our giftings.

Sam launches the Gifts of the Spirit series with a powerful reminder to live deeply, intentionally and passionately oriented around Jesus. He encourages us to lean fully into the gifts we've been blessed with and let the Holy Spirit take full control, for these gifts are not for us alone, but to glorify Christ and build up His Church.

This Easter Sunday, Sam emphasizes the hope we have through Jesus' resurrection and why it really matters, as it assures us of renewed, resurrected bodies in the future. He encourages us to celebrate the end of Lent with joy, because Easter marks the beginning of new life and lasting hope.

This hope transforms our view of mortality, encouraging us to live with anticipation of the glory to come.

Sam launches the "Words from the Cross" series, beginning with 'Forgiveness". He emphasizes that Jesus’ act of forgiving those who crucified him teaches us to forgive those who wrong us. By following Jesus' example, we show love and grace, offering forgiveness even when it’s difficult.
