MICHELLE DELAHUNT BRINGS A MESSAGE FROM PROVERBS 3:5-6 ABOUT TRUSTING GOD. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REALLY TRUST GOD?
God loves to hide beauty in mystery
A lot of people are looking for something clear and simple when it comes to following Jesus.
But rather than give us a formula, God gives us invitations into his heart.
The gift of tongues is just that. An invitation into his heart, a place of intimacy, of nearness, and of faith.
We read throughout the scriptures that where the message of The Kingdom went, power followed after it. We believe that power is not some special force that comes with magic words but is a person. The Holy Spirit.
What does it mean to be filled with The Holy Spirit? Join us as Pastor Andrew helps demystify this common Christian saying and brings clarity to this language and this conversation to help stir the church towards that reality. To break us free from the power of our will and lead us into resurrection power given to us by The Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not a force to wield but a person to know.
So the posture we want to have is that of a beautiful invitation.
We want to invite The Holy Spirit to be who He is here in our midst with this simple prayer.
Come Holy Spirit.
Easter is a story we are all familiar with. And because of its familiarity it has become common.
But it is anything but common.
Easter has become common because we have lost our sense of wonder.
This is the disposition of the human heart.
What we need is not a familiar story, what we need is a fresh encounter.
Let us reclaim the wonder of the story of Easter.
We all know of stories where we have asked for healing and healing didn’t come.
Many have tried their best to determine why some healings happen and some don’t.
But when we survey the scriptures there is not clear formula for healing. It is altogether mysterious and wonderful.
For many of us the story we believe is that God is good, that He loves us and that He cares about us. But doubt rears its head into that story when we go through something that makes us feel like He isn’t all that good.
As uncomfortable and difficult as seasons of doubt can be, they are necessary to bring a person into a mature faith. Because when hardship comes and the faith has not been tested, it often crumbles.
So the goal of wrestling through our doubts is not to get to the place of assurance, instead it is to move towards the posture of trust.
Trust in the person of Jesus.
Everything was created by God, through Jesus. To know Jesus and live for Him is to find the meaning of life for which we were created. Austin Triplett from Jesus Chapel El Paso reminds us to make Jesus our anchor and hope, even when it feels like God is silent.
From our new sermon series “Behold: Seeing the Beauty of Jesus” Pastor Andrew takes us through gospel stories that give us a mosaic picture of who Jesus is.
How do I know what God’s will is for my life? Is my work important or even spiritual? Pastor Andrew Rael gives a message in our “For the City” series that gives a practical and hopeful vision for the work that we do.

Prodigal: A mini series walking through doubt, deconstruction and the journey of faith.

A message on how we can reclaim our identity as “Jesus People” by being people of radical generosity
Sometimes we can forget that we are surrounded by spiritual warfare. Scripture tells us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lies within us. How do we reclaim our identity as Jesus People and become people of power?
To become Jesus People we have to become people of prayer. But what is prayer? Pastor Andrew Rael shows us what it means to talk to God.
What is our role in evangelism? How do we authentically present the story of Jesus without seeming disingenuous?

In this weeks message we learn that fasting is a spiritual discipline to help us overcome sin. Like Jesus did when he was in the desert, fasting is a way to become closer to God to overcome temptation.
We start a brand new series this week titled “Hungry for God” which is all about fasting and feasting. Pastor Andrew Rael walks us through an introduction to what it means to fast and to abstain.
Sometimes it can seem as if the seeds we plant never grow. In this weeks teaching Pastor Andrew Rael takes us into the scriptures to see what it means to wait on the Lord, and trust His timing.
