Spiritual gifts: Who has them and how are they used?  (And why?)

Pastor Steve paints a picture today of our great shepherd our Lord Jesus Christ.  His hope is that we can see in this Psalm how God shepherds us.  He is the one who can and does lead us, protect us, and blesses us.

Jesus is the resurrection and the life. By believing in Jesus we repent of the original sin that happened with the tree of knowledge of good and evil that led to death.  By depending on God for our life we have crossed from being in Adam to being in Christ.  We have been set free!

Guest Pastor Dan Samuelson refreshes us on the ministry we have been given of reconciliation.  

Ever wonder why in following God we keep on coming up against blind alleys? Problems that don’t seem to have a solution? No Way Out? God is growing your faith. Faith is believing God before you see the answer. This message is about about the Holy Spirit’s blind alley miracle service to us!

Pastor Steve’s former pastor, Dick Iverson, used to say, “Demonstrate the truth through mercy. Nobody will buy something that doesn't work. We have to demonstrate it.” Steve speaks of revealing the Truth through mercy.

Using 2 Peter 3:16 as a basis, Pastor Steve Ganz preaches about allowing mercy and truth to come together so that we interpret the Scriptures with love.

Having the fear of the Lord is the key to interpreting Scripture.
