Collective Church

The bible references Jesus' second coming 1,845 times.  The second coming is second only to faith as the most dominant subject in the New Testament.  Even so, the subject still leaves many with questions.  So we're taking some time in this week's message to distinguish between The Rapture and the Second Coming and study the bible's description of His Second Coming.

Our church's mission is the basis for this sermon series, Knowing God and Making Him Known.  It is an impossible mission without God's Holy Spirit.  At some point, we're all guilty of doubting that the Holy Spirit can work in and through us as he does in others.  In the first few chapters of Acts, we see how mightly the Holy Spirit was working through the people of the church.  What we fail to remember is that the same power and promises that were available to the believers in Acts 1 & 2 are available to us.  

Most people love a miracle story.  Miracles move people to express emotion, excitement, clap, and cheer.  Your salvation is a miracle! When we repent our sin and believe in the Gospel, confessing Jesus as our Lord, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit begin a miraculous work in you.  What makes salvation a miracle?  In today's message, we'll present three reasons why our salvation is a miracle.  

This world is not our homeland.  We were created for more.  We are on our way to a better country, a heavenly one.  A problem that many of us have as we travel through this world is that we accumulate baggage.  Baggage that weighs us down and holds us back.  Through this four-part series, we'll be looking at four different things that satan uses to oppress us and weigh us down.  In this final part of the series, we'll talk about what it looks like to leave your past behind.  To let go of the bitterness or the grudges and be blessed through forgiveness.

There is spiritual warfare going on around us.  We need to be aware of how the enemy is at work and be able to employ the spiritual tactics that Jesus has given us to overcome this battle.  So we're spending four weeks studying Ephesians 6:12. This week we're wrapping up this series with how important prayer is in this battle.  It is a vital part of our "fight."  In this message, we'll look at four important reasons, among others, why we must communicate with God through prayer when it comes to spiritual warfare.

There is spiritual warfare going on around us.  We need to be aware of how the enemy is at work and be able to employ the spiritual tactics that Jesus has given us to overcome this battle.  So we're spending four weeks studying Ephesians 6:12.  In Chapter 6 of Ephesians, Paul tells us to "stand firm."  How do we stand firm.  What biblical truths help us to stand firm and how do exactly to "put on our armor?"  

At the beginning of 1 Corinthians 12, Paul tells the church that he does not want them to be "ignorant of spiritual gifts."  There is importance in learning and using our gifting.  Today in part three of our message series "Difference Makers" we'll be looking at the lists of spiritual gifts that the bible lists.  As well as, common spiritual gift "myths."
