The Winds of Change: How the Holy Spirit Moves Us Forward When we talk about the Holy Spirit, we often think of fire, power, and Pentecost—but we don’t always think about change. And yet, in Week 4 of the Catch the Wind series, we were reminded that one of the most consistent ways the Spirit moves is by stirring up change in our lives. Not just external change. Not just circumstantial adjustments. We’re talking about the kind of transformation that…

Catching the Wind: Movement, Momentum, and the Messy Middle We love mountaintop moments with God. When the Spirit rushes in like wind and fire, it’s easy to believe we’re being moved. But what about Tuesday afternoon? What about the long stretch of “normal”? That’s where most of us live—and it’s exactly where the Holy Spirit wants to meet us. In Part 3 of Catch the Wind, we leaned hard into this truth: movement in the Spirit isn’t reserved for revival…

Catching the Wind: Embracing the Power of the Holy Spirit In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like we’re constantly rowing against the current, exhausting ourselves in pursuit of spiritual growth and purpose. But what if there was a better way? What if, instead of striving in our own strength, we could harness a power far greater than ourselves? This is the essence of “catching the wind” – learning to live by the power of the Holy Spirit rather…

Aligning Decisions with Jesus’ Values for Abundant Living In our journey of decision-making, it’s crucial to not only make the right decisions but to follow through with them. Often, we find ourselves making decisions that align with our values, yet we fail to act on them, rendering those decisions ineffective. This series is about moving from decision to outcome, overcoming obstacles, and aligning our choices with the values of Jesus. Jesus exemplified this by making a decision to redeem humanity…

With God’s help, we will determine our course of action before the moment of decision. Thinking like Jesus involves making decisions as He did—unwavering and purpose-driven. Circumstances never influenced His pre-decided convictions. He remained resolute in fulfilling His mission. And so can you! To be truly determined, one must first understand their capabilities and values. Just as one wouldn’t attempt to carry a heavy table without first assessing their strength, we must know who we are and what we stand…

In a recent message, we explored the profound simplicity of opening our hearts to Jesus. Salvation is not about complex rituals or religious jargon; it’s about being vulnerable enough to admit that our lives, when led by our own decisions, often fall short. Paul refers to life without Jesus as “dung,” highlighting that while our efforts may be good by worldly standards, they pale in comparison to what Jesus can do for us. We often find ourselves in a cycle…

In our journey through the Gospels, we are reminded of the profound simplicity of worshiping and honoring Jesus. Often, we overcomplicate our faith, burdening ourselves with the need to understand every theological nuance or biblical lineage. Yet, the essence of our faith is simply acknowledging Jesus as the divine Son of God, sent to reveal the Father to us. This acknowledgment stirs a desire within us to delve deeper into the Bible, to grow in understanding, and to embrace the…

Faith is defined in Hebrews as the ability to grasp fully, with unwavering assurance and hope that what is unseen (supernatural) is our reality. The term “supernatural” often conjures images of the bizarre or mystical, but in reality, it is about aligning our lives with God’s presence and values. Faith is the ability to transcend our natural responses and operate in the supernatural characteristics of God. Jesus exemplified this by living in the natural world without being confined by its…
