Got Gifts?
Got Leadership?
September 17, 2023 • Pastor Joe Coudriet
It is said that 'he that thinks he is leading and no one is following is simply taking a walk.' But the reality is that many are following what we say and what we do. And to drill down a bit further, most of us find ourselves leading in ministry, leading our families or leading on the job. God's Word says that there is a grace that goes along with that to help. In today's message we'll learn more about 'leading with diligence.'.
Got Mercy?
September 10, 2023 • Pastor Joe Coudriet
God's Word says that 'mercy triumphs over judgement?' (James 2:13) When you see someone that is hurting, is your heart moved or do you 'move over' and get out of the way? Or, do you find yourself judging the person and the circumstances in which they find themselves? For the person who has the gift of mercy, with cheerfulness, the question isn't whether to help but how soon can they help? Join us today to learn more.
Got Giving?
September 3, 2023
The funtional gift of giving compels the one posessing it to look for opportunities to be a blessing in financial and material ways. The Holy Spirit heightens their awareness of needs that are around them in the lives of people and HE supplies the resources to meet the need. The 'giver' need only be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and obedient to HIs leading.
Got Exhortation
August 27, 2023 • Pastor Michael Williams
All believer's are called to exhort and encourage one another...especially in time of need. But, the believer operating in the functional gift of an exhorter just can't help themselves...they are a walking, talking, breathing source of encouragement for others. They are always using this gift to build others up, to challenge them to reach higher. In this message, Pastor Mike Williams will share how to both benefit as, and benefit from, those that live to encourage others.
Got Prophecy?
August 6, 2023 • Pastor Joe Coudriet
When you begin a new job you need to get oriented to the equipment and tools your employer provides. Same is true of your spiritual employment. 1 Cor. 14-1 says; ‘Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.’ We’ll consider this first ‘functional’ gift on Sunday.
Got Gifts: Function vs Dysfunction
July 30, 2023 • Pastor Joe Coudriet
When Jesus 'ascended on high he led captivity captive and GAVE GIFTS to men.' (Eph 4:8) That means that every believer in Christ, that ever lived, had gifts deposited in them that God intends for us to identify, develop and use for His glory. In this message, Pastor Joe Coudriet talks about the Functional Gifts found in Romans 12 and the Manifestation Gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12. There is an approximately 20 minute 'lull' in the service when Pastor Coudriet provides time for those attending to complete a Functional Gift Inventory.
