There's something in the Atmosphere!

September 22, 2024 • Ps. Justin Spina

Give

Key #1 - You can See it!

Isaiah 43:19 NLT

For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

Key #2 - You can Touch it!

Luke 24:39 NIRV

Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me! Touch me and see.

Key #3 - You can Hear it!

John 10:27 NKJV

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

1 Kings 19:11-12

Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.

Key #4 - You can Smell it!

2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NLT

Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume.

Key #5 - You can Taste it!

Psalm 34:8 NKJV

Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 119:103 NLT

How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.

Key #6 - You can KNOW it!

1 Corinthians 2:11-12 NLT

No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

Take a DEEP Breath

August 25, 2024 • Ps. Justin Spina

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Psalm 150:6 NIV Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Key #1 - The Root Genesis 2:7 NIV “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Job 33:4 NIV “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” Genesis 3:10-12 NIV He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Key #2 - The Rescue Exodus 15:8 NIV At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard. Key #3 - The Restoration Mark 15:37 NLT Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last.

The Gift

September 1, 2024 • Ps. Rob Spina

Point #1 - The Holy Spirit The Revealer Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, & My thoughts than your thoughts". 1 Cor 2:9 KJV But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor 2:10 KJV But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Acts 2:38-39 ESV And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Point #2 - The Holy Spirit The Reminder John 14:26 ESV But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance of all that I have said to you. John 16:8 NLT And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.” John 16:9 NLT “The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” Point #3 - The Holy Spirit The Refresher Ephesians 5:15-19 NIV Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, continually speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, John 20:21-22 ESV Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:1-4 ESV When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Luke 11:13 ESV If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

RELAXED

September 8, 2024 • Ps. Justin Spina

John 14:27 NLT “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Key #1 - Don’t sweat the storm Mark 4:35-40 NLT As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. 38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Key #2 - Don’t base your Posture off your present perspective John 16:33 NLT I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Luke 4:35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” Key #3 - Don’t stay on the shore Mark 4:35 NIV That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Mark 5:21 NLT Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake.
