What would you give to get the greatest treasure the world has ever seen? Would you give all that you have - your wealth - your home - your family?

Today we are going deeper on this past weekend’s sermon titled, “Treasure” with an emphasis on Jesus’ Parable found in Matthew 13:44, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." (ESV)

Part 1 from the sermon series "Parables Prayers & Psalms".

Treasure (Matthew 13:44-46)

Have you ever thought about your natural abilities becoming spiritual gifts that can be used for the Kingdom of God?

Does every believer have a spiritual gift? If so, why do we have them and how do we identify them and use them to help others get to know Jesus?

We're talking all things spiritual gifts in today's Going Deeper episode with John-Paul and Pastor Tom.

Spiritual Gifts | Romans 12:3-8

Peter outlines the purpose of Spiritual Gifts in 1 Peter 4:10 where he writes, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This verse prompted Pastor Tom to say Christians are given spiritual gifts to serve each other and accomplish God’s will. They are not to be used selfishly or to bring attention to ourselves. They are to glorify God. Do you think there is a danger of misusing spiritual gifts?

We're so grateful for you joining us today on our first ministry Spotlight episode. These episodes give you the chance to get to know past and present leaders of our church.

GK Chesterton said that every generation loses the path to life and every generation is charged with its recovery. One of the most powerful ways to keep the Gospel as our focus is to honor, value, and seek the wisdom of those who have come before us. Jeremiah 6:16 says,

Today we are going to uncover some of the story of how our church began and what has made it such a wonderful blessing to this day with two of our founders, Mike and Anita Jones.

One of the greatest struggles of the current human condition is the lack of hope. Statistics show that the rapid loss of hope is not just applied to non-believers but to all people. How can Christians today live in constant hope? Where does hope start in its most true form?

These questions and more are answered in this going deeper episode with Dan Pound. Truth has a very powerful connection to hope. Let's dig in and see what Dan has to share about the pursuit of hope.

In considering the 4-Step Encounter that brings hope, we see a progression: First, TRUTH is revealed. Second, We receive PEACE, Thirdly, we experience HOPE and lastly, these steps create ACTION. One commentator put is this way, “God does not just dump joy and peace into hearts without cause. But, as believers trust in God, their faith will bring joy and peace to their hearts.” Take time to share how you have experienced this process in your own life. How do you believe one’s trust in God and His truth is the starting point for this process?

How can we switch our mindset from feeling defeated to acknowledging that we're learning and growing?

In this episode, we are going deeper on this past weekend’s sermon titled, “Indwelling” with an emphasis on how you have a real enemy and a real ally - and you may not be living in that reality. Today, I have with me on the show Pastor Tom.

“Indwelling” – Empowered | Part 2

Building relationships is the absolute key in this day and age to effectively sharing Christ. Not sure where to start?

Do you struggle to have patience with yourself and others?

Are you feeling like a prisoner of your past? Are you searching for ways to recognize, break, and release generational patterns?

We'll talk about these questions and more today, as we go deeper on this past weekend’s sermon titled, “Qualities to Consider on Mother’s Day” with an emphasis on Colossians 3:12-14.
