Jon Armstrong challenges us to delve deeper into the practical application of the gospel in our daily lives. Discover how partnering with God leads us to measure our success not by mere words, but by the meaningful impact we make through our actions. Embrace the transformative power of living out the gospel message in your everyday life.

The word adversity is where we get adversary, meaning “the one who causes hardship or difficulties.” Pastor Jeff takes us through the first part of Nehemiah 6 and paints a picture of how the Israelites were rebuilding in a ruined state, a state with hardships. Have you ever had to rebuild in a ruined state? Pastor Jeff reminds us, whatever you build on your own, you will carry alone but what God has called you to build, he will give you the strength to build.

Jon delves into our 'Beyond Us' series. He reminds us that God's plans exceed our wildest hopes and imaginations. Instead of giving the enemy a seat at our table, let's embrace our imperfections and allow God to shine through us. Together, we'll glorify Him through our unique gifts and experiences.

If it is about us, it will stop with us. That's why we need to go beyond us, so it doesn’t stop with us. Like a cathedral, lets build in faith knowing that we might not see it finished in our lifetime.

God is asking us to build a church that goes beyond us. The Church isn't just for us now, it's also for the generations after us. Pastor's Jeff and Kristin share how we can partner with God now and believe for the things to come through Ember Church.

Pastor Jeff takes us through the story of Peter's restoration and shows us how a charcoal fire is more than just a regular fire for Peter, but a moment of restoration. As fire is used to refine gold and silver, the fire here is used to refine Peter. The Charcoal Fire, reminds us that no one is a lost cause; we all have sinned, we all have denied Jesus with our words and deeds. 

Guest speaker Carson Coates continues in our testimony series talking about how the encounters we have with God don't give us our testimony, rather we have to continually live in a response posture to God and that is what gives us our testimony.

The start of our new series, "This Is My Testimony", we start by hearing a testimony about healing from someone in our congregation. Pastor Jeff then teaches us about how we have power because of Jesus and we hold the keys to operate in the giftings of the Holy Spirit to teach, preach, and heal. Jesus is our healer and we have the ability to help bring healing into our church and world. Do you hold the keys?

In our 'Holy Spirit' series Pastor Jeff has taught us who the Holy Spirit is, how to receive the Spirit, and now closing the series he is teaching us how to walk in the Spirit. We need to give God time while we walk it out with him; time to heal, time to build, time to uproot, time to cleanse, and time to uncover.

Last week we talked about: “Who is the Holy Spirit” and this week, as we continue in our 'Holy Spirit' series, we are talking about the right conditions for receiving the Holy Spirit. We have to be in the right conditions for God to move in our lives and for the his Spirit to be able to work. How are your conditions currently?
