As we come out of the summer season and into the business of fall, how can we effectively make that transition? From floating on rafts to deadlines and to-do lists? The fall transition can be stressful, but it can also be an opportunity to recalibrate our rhythms and prioritize what's important. 

The FRUIT of the Spirit and the GIFTS of the Spirit are expressed, practiced, and refined all WITHIN community. As our culture becomes more and more transient and superficial the kind of biblical community described on the pages of scripture begins to fade from our collective memory. While we may desire this type of life-giving community, the art of cultivating and sustaining these deep roots can elude us. 

The Holy Spirit is just as present and active in times of suffering as He is in times of triumph. In fact, when we can learn to pray for God to redeem the pain rather than simply remove the pain, is when we can really see signposts of God working through our suffering, for the sake of glory and goodness for others. 

Believers live in the tension between knowing Jesus was all about sharing the Good News of His Kingdom while also feeling like "evangelism" is a bit icky. However we ALL are sharing a Gospel: our favorite restaurants, workouts, books, ways of eating, etc...the question is WHAT Gospel are we sharing. Let's have a conversation about how we can be His witnesses in a way that is Holy Spirit led and full of hope, authenticity and love.

Divine healing is a sign of the kingdom, not the substance. It's a taste of fullness of life that is to come. It should be something we yearn for and also a regular part of church ministry...while also keeping in mind that healing this side of eternity is always temporal. Our real hope comes in the kingdom that is breaking through and will one day be here in its fullness!

Prophecy... a gift of the Spirit that has been often hijacked by culture and made to be something it's not. While it is amazing and beautiful when God chooses to speak specifically and intimately to an individual through another believer, this should be an ordinary occurrence in the life of the Church, simply a byproduct of spending time in the Spirit, discerning God's voice.

Discernment is the gift and practice of attuning to God's voice amid the competing counterfeit noise. If we have such a hard time hearing it, why doesn't God just yell instead of whisper? Let's have a conversation about how we can recognize God's voice as we learn to walk in step with the Spirit.

When it comes to our understanding and experience with the Holy Spirit, we usually swing between 2 sides of a pendulum: either we seek after the GIFTS of the Spirit over and above His presence...OR...we diminish the miraculous gifts usually out of fear of their wildness. Both are about trying to control something (someONE) that cannot be tamed.

Throughout scripture, the Holy Spirit is represented by water and a dove...bringing healing, power and order from darkness and chaos.

Often we read the pages of Scripture and the lives of the Holy Spirit empowered disciples don't always match up with our day-to-day lives. If we are also living with the Holy Spirit inside of us, why is there such a gap? Join us as we start a journey to discover how to close this gap and live a story closer to the story we see play out in the Word.
