The Holy Spirit is able to show up in powerful ways, just like he did on Pentecost Sunday. What God is asking of you will take the filling of the Holy Spirit. And there's only one want we can filled.
If we have the Holy Spirit in us then there will be evidence which the Apostle Paul calls fruit. But in order to produce this fruit of the Spirit, we have to continue to do this one thing.
The Holy Spirit is our advocate and helper. When we are in need, He comes along side us in multiple ways to comfort. But whether or not we get relief, the Holy Spirit is always working to transform.
When Jesus says that it is better for us that He leaves so that the Advocate can come, what does He mean? Who is the Holy Spirit and why is it important that we need Him?
The church is established by God, but it has never been perfect. Many people have been hurt by people within the church, but that doesn't mean that the church isn't a force for good in the world.
Why do people even need Christianity? In this message, Pastor Jim looks at the impact that Christianity has made on society over thousands of years.
Many people believe that faith is incompatible with reason and logic, but is that actually true? There are many intellectual arguments and historical discoveries that point toward something worth investigating.
When the women and the disciples woke up on Easter morning, their faith was shattered and there seemed to be no hope. But when they discovered the empty tomb, it rebooted their fallen faith. This Easter can be a restart for your faith!
At the end of John's description of the Last Supper, he recounts an important prayer that he prays over himself, his disciples, and for all future believers. Jesus isn't just a great teacher or a wise prophet, he is so much more to those who believe in him.
The most pivotal thing that Christ did at the Last Supper was institute the sacrament of communion. We don't just take communion to fulfill a ritual, we take it because it carries so much weight and significance in our walk with Jesus.
Jesus revealed something shocking to his disciples at dinner. One of the disciples betrayed Jesus, but many of the disciples also failed him. How can we avoid failing Jesus in our lives?
At the Last Supper, Jesus is trying to impart his final words to his disciples and they start bickering like children about who will be the greatest. Jesus addresses this argument and gives them a demonstration that that wouldn’t soon forget.
As long as humanity has been on the earth, there have been tensions between nations and races of people. As a country, we’ve had to wrestle with racial tensions across many decades, but did you know that there was also racial tension in the Bible?
The church has wrestled and even split over the tension around human sexuality. Our society shifts its views on this topic, but the Bible sets some pretty clear and solid lines on this issue. How should we navigate this?
We all view things through a different lenses and our lenses shape our preferences. And even though Christians have a Biblical worldview, there are different perspectives that seem at odds with one another. How do we navigate the tensions as Christ followers in an increasingly secular world?
God has been up to some pretty incredible things around Faithbrook! In this service you'll hear some incredible God stories and learn about why Faithbrook continues to pursue its mission and vision in this community.
The final reset deals with Grace. Learning how to receive and give grace is so important to living like Christ. Grace received demands grace given.
The forth thing that we need to reset is our view of time. We tend to want to maximize our productivity or our experiences, but we end up draining ourselves and our families. The sabbath was created to give us margin so our hearts could be healthy.
Everyone loves a good friend, but we often have a hard time being a good friend. We need solid friendship for a healthy heart and life. A strong faith is always supported by strong friendships.
Not only are we called to devote time to be with God, but we're also called to devote our whole self to God. God formed each person in his image and designed everyone to be a temple of the Holy Spirit.
