This is an expository study of 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. In these scriptures, Paul tells us that the wisdom of God can only be revealed by His Spirit. All who have His Spirit, can understand His wisdom. They have the mind of Christ.

In this message, we kick off our study of 1 Corinthians.  In this first section, Paul addresses one of the problems in the church of Corinth - division. The source of the division seems to come from people comparing different Christian communicators based on their eloquence and wisdom. Paul shows the Corinthians that this is a ridiculous thing to do, since none of us came to Christ because of mere human wisdom. Instead, salvation is achieved through the cross of Christ. All the wisdom in the world could not save us. We need more than mere words, we need the power of God to save us.

Every good father wants the best for their children. Father God wants this for all of us. But, in order for us to be everything he made us to be, we have to be brave and courageous in the face of opposition. How can we keep going, no matter what comes our way? By finding our security in the Father's love.

There are two reasons that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church on the day of Pentecost: to build up the church and witnessing to the world. Peter is an example of someone who was changed by the Holy Spirit. He went from not witnessing to a little girl out of fear, to boldly preaching to thousands of people on the streets of Jerusalem. Just like Peter, the Holy Spirit gives us power on purpose - to reach the world.

Have you ever met someone who says they are filled with the Spirit of Jesus and yet acts like a demon? How is it possible for someone to opporate in the gifts of the Spirit but not have any of the fruit of the Spirit? In this message, we will discover that both gifts and fruit are works of the Spirit, but one is far more important than the other. God values character over charisma.  

We may have heard of the Holy Spirit or even been in a service or a church where we "felt" the power of the Spirit. Or, maybe we have never heard of the Holy Spirit and know nothing about it. You may be surprised to learn that the Holy Spirit is involved in your life even before you may chose to follow Jesus. So often we reduce the Holy Spirit only to His power. But today, we will learn that He is much more than a power; He is a Person.

The day of Pentecost was the day that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church in the book of Acts. We. believe that the baptism of the Spirit is still available to believers today and it is a gift we do not have to be afraid to open.

In this special mother's day message, Pastor CJ and Nicole discuss one of the most powerful characteristics of God: His ability to see us, not just as we are, but as we could be. This same trait dwells in all believers and is essential as we lead and disciple our church, families, kids, and world.

Money can make or break your calling. Often times, money can become the greatest burden we carry as we try to run the race God marked out for us. This happens when money is our master. Many is a bad master, but it's also a great servant. But, in order for money to serve the purposes of God in our lives, we must order it.
