Is Jesus merely a SYMBOL of Christmas, or is He the SUBSTANCE of Christmas? Treasa Conrad challenges us to not view Jesus as just another symbol of the season, but instead to live in such a way that those around us see Jesus for who He truly is: the savior of the world—the Word that became flesh and lived among us—by being relevant, authentic and fun to all those we meet this Christmas season.

During this series, James has issued the challenge...prove your faith. In this message, Pastor Patrick shares how our faith should affect our mouth. Our tongue has a disproportionate amount of power. In fact, with our very words, we can speak life or death. Our tongue is an indicator of everything else happening in our life and heart. So, how do we tame our tongue? Allow it to be trained by FAITH. Listen in to the final week of The Book of James.

The Book of James series has been all about proving our faith by our works. One of the ways we demonstrate our faith is in the way we treat each other. James, addressing the Church, tells us we must stop judging one another. We have the ability to judge behavior as it relates to God's word, but we were not designed with the capacity to accurately judge who a person truly is and the motives and intentions of their heart. Pastor Patrick shows us practical ways to combat favoritism and judgment and issues the challenge to truly get to know those we keep at a distance.

Is your faith actively growing and maturing? Or is your faith simply a creed or doctrine you believe in your head? James teaches that faith without works is dead and useless. Living faith is something we prove by our actions, not by our intentions. If you are ready to learn some very practical ways to prove and activate your faith, then listen as Pastor Patrick dives into Week 1 of The Book of James.

Have you ever experienced a disruption? To your day, your plans, or maybe even a disruption of your entire life? Disruptions are inconvenient and sometimes difficult or even painful. Guest speaker Pastor Cornelius Lindsey shares how God ordains holy disruptions so that we may come to a deeper walk with Him and live and serve the Gospel with great purpose and joy.

Spiritual gifts are special abilities given to EVERY believer. But what exactly are these gifts and where do they come from? What is their purpose and how do we receive them? Listen as Pastor Patrick answers some of the biggest questions about spiritual gifts and their relevance to our faith and fulfillment in our relationship with God.

The Holy Spirit is the very real presence of Jesus that resides within us and will never leave us nor forsake us. When we accept Jesus, we come into a spiritual family; the Holy Spirit is the one who seals that new identity and gives us the authority and power to walk in it. But so many Christians are in a New Covenant relationship, but living an Old Covenant faith. How do we walk in our new identity?

Who or what is the Holy Spirit? Oftentimes we assign labels to the activity of the Holy Spirit simply because we don't understand. But the Holy Spirit is not a doctrine; He is a Person. He is not weird; He IS God.

Pastor Patrick continues our First Wednesday series looking at the covenant that God has established with humanity. From the Old Testament until today, God has established various covenants with His people and they all have a role to play in revealing His character to us and how we relate to Him.
