On Sunday, we will continue our intensive study of the Holy Spirit by exploring an intriguing concept called "Spiritual Gifts." The basic idea is that the Holy Spirit has deliberately and strategically infused you with certain extraordinary gifts which, when activated, empower you to make a profound difference in the world. Do you know what your gifts are and how to wield them?

On Sunday, Pastor Jeff resumes our sermon series about the Holy Spirit. Most of us often feel discouraged by the gap between the person we are and the person we aspire to be. Especially when facing stressful situations, we often fall short. So this week we'll explore the practical means by which the Holy Spirit can empower us to become the beautiful person we aspire to be.

Have you ever talked to someone who rejected (or doubted) the existence of God? Maybe you find yourself in such a place. What are the factors that cause folks to doubt God? And what can we say to help them in that struggle? That's our topic for this Sunday. Join us for a thought-provoking sermon.

Do you ever feel underpowered? Do you find yourself frustrated with all kinds of things you can't change about yourself, others, or in the circumstances around you? The Bible teaches we have a power source that's powerful beyond our wildest imagination. It's called the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the nature of that power? And how can we tap into it? That's what we'll discuss this Sunday in the third installment of our in-depth study of the Holy Spirit.

It's impossible for us to live vibrant spiritual lives without being able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit guiding our footsteps day by day. So this Sunday -- in the second installment in our in-depth study of the Holy Spirit -- we'll explore the various ways God's Spirit speaks to us -- and how we can become more attuned to those messages.

This Sunday we will launch an in-depth study of the so-called Third Person of the Trinity, i.e., the Holy Spirit. We'll begin by asking some basic questions like: Who or what is the Holy Spirit? How do I receive the Holy Spirit? And most importantly, why should I care? What's the big deal?

It's a question any thoughtful believer must ask. So this Sunday we will, as we wrap up our sermon series on "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life." We will explore questions like: Does there really need to be a place like Hell? If so, why does it need to be a place of torture? And why would God keep people there forever and ever with no hope? You may be surprised by what the Bible says about these questions. Put on your thinking cap and join us on Sunday.

What would you say is the greatest source of sin in most of our lives? This may sound like an odd topic for Mother's Day, but it will actually relate in a very positive way -- for mothers and for all of us. So bring your Moms and Grandmoms along with you, as we honor them while also exploring the fourth topic in our sermon series called "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life."

Over the course of time, you've likely heard lots of sermons naming various sins, but you've probably never heard one that digs deeper to actually thoughtfully explore: What is the definition of sin? In other words, what makes something a sin in the eyes of God? This Sunday we'll tackle that question -- and you're probably going to be surprised. This may be the most important sermon you've never heard.

On Sunday Pastor Jeff will share the second installment in a new sermon series called "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life." This week we'll explore the concept of "spiritual warfare," asking questions like: What is it? Should thoughtful people believe it? And if so, how can it affect my everyday life?
