Gifts: Why Spiritual Gifts?

The spiritual gifts are a wonderful journey of a lifetime that are constantly changing, growing, shifting, and shaping inside of us.

Day By Day

Allowing God to continually inhabit my life more in turn allows for me to inhabit my own life and to be more present - to have greater courage to be myself and to be faithful.

Day By Day

What we anticipate for ourselves this year should be an expression of and desire for greater intimacy with Father. - Ryan Adams

Abide: Do Good

To do good is to work out the reality of our holiness and the reality of who God is in our actions, stepping into the world, believing that we carry the spirit of God and that our actions testify to who He is, making God more known and pointing to the reality of Him.  

Abide: Do Good

What we do with our selves (mind, body, and spirit), is a working out of the internal revelation of intimacy with God, our identities as His "beloved," and His purpose for our lives. - Ryan Adams

Abide: Purpose

Our purpose is to be intentional about changing the world. - Cole NeSmith

Abide: Let Your Bowels Clench

Embracing the fact that God has set us apart for a specific purpose gives us the freedom to step into the mess of the world and open ourselves up to compassion.

Abide: What's Your Source?

Keeping God as the source of our experiences allows God to reveal himself to us, and allows us to partake in greater refinement through Him.

Abide: Prodigals

We are called to be sons who play the role of servant. - Ryan Adams

Abide: Obedience

Obedience prompts us to move from a knowledge of God to an experience of God.
