In this series, we are focusing on the gifts of the Spirit. The third entity in our Triune God is often pushed off to the side, but we have prayed for a Holy Spirit revival in our midst. We have started to see it bubbling up in our Church, and we will be walking through the DISCERNMENT process that needs to happen as we develop these gifts and pursue a relationship with God the Holy Spirit!

We installed Pastor Ken as our Associate Pastor this morning, if you’d like to just listen to the message, please start around 17:44 minutes!
What exactly does the bible say about same-sex attraction, the Gay community, and God’s love for all people?
The church and the culture have been confused about gender leading to unhealthy assumptions. We must allow the scripture to recalibrate our understanding.
The “story” of sexuality in the Bible spans across the OT and NT helping us see the purpose in God’s design for sex.
We are given frameworks about sexuality in the church and the culture which are flawed. What does the Bible actually say on it?
Someone or something is shaping your view on sexuality. God has something to say, if you are willing to listen.
"...ALL of the frameworks we hold about our sexuality are trojan horses smuggling in sexual idols, hiding our failures, and harboring brokenness that enslaves us to the idea that we are ENTITLED to “do what is right in our own eyes.” ...
AND IF there is going to have ANY integrity in this conversation, we have to start by recognizing that we are ALL sinners desperately in need of a savior! ...
The beginning of this journey calls for humble repentance that you and I - like all believers - submit our opinions, frameworks, and sexual ethics to the Lordship of King Jesus and lay it all at the foot of the cross!"
