Today we are beginning our new series that will take us to Christmas morning. This series is called Sure Foundations – Why We Believe What We Believe. Over the next nine weeks, we will be exploring the following topics…
7 Traits of a Spirit Filled Disciple - Joyful Generosity
Today, we will make this a little personal by discussing Joyful Generosity.
Now, you will never get me to apologize for talking about money. Why? Because Jesus talks about money a lot in the Gospels. Jesus typically taught in parables-and 11 of His 40 parables were about money or used money as a way to teach us spiritual truths. For instance…
7 Traits of a Spirit Filled Disciple - Knowing Your Personal Mission From God.
7 Traits of a Spirit Filled Disciple - The Power of Prayer
7 Traits of a Spirit-Filled Disciple - The Power Of The Holy Spirit In Our Life
Today we continue our series, “Follow Me - 7 Traits of A Spirit-Filled Disciple.” In our last post, we discussed worshipping in Freedom and specifically mentioned needing to worship God in Spirit and Truth. We need to worship God with our feelings/ emotions AND facts.
We talked about truth or God’s Word in the first week of this series. Today, I want to talk more about worshipping God in Spirit. Specifically the Holy Spirit. Why? Because we are an Assemblies of God church that wants to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit right here in Saint Clair Shores!
7 Traits of a Spirit Filled Disciple - Worshipping in Freedom
Today we continue our series, “Follow Me - 7 Traits of A Spirit-Filled Disciple.” Today the focus is going to be placed on the topic of worshipping in Freedom. What I need you to understand is that worship is not just singing. Singing can be uncomfortable if we don’t like it or are afraid of what we sound like.
7 Traits of a Spirit Filled Disciple - Serving In The Local Church
Today we continue our seven-week series, “7 Dimensions of A Spirit-Filled Disciple.” Through this series, we will look at seven areas where we all need to grow in our effort to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
Last week we emphasized Studying The Bible. As you may know, I am a firm believer in helping you read and understand the Bible for yourself. I want you to become biblically literate on your own. Reading your Bible on your own is a must for a Spirit-Filled Disciple. The trait we will look at today is serving in the local church.

Don't Be Heartless
Today we will conclude our look at the book of Jonah by looking at chapter 4. Our theme for today… Don't be heartless! But before we dive into my thoughts on the passage, take a moment and read it for yourself!
What would happen in the local church if God moved powerfully? Some would rejoice, and some would leave! Of course, you and I would be mistaken if we believed that all of God's people would celebrate the moving of God. For that matter, we might hear some of the following…
The God Of Second Chances
Are you glad that God gave you a second chance? What about your family and friends getting a second chance?
Now ask yourself, are you glad God gave the people who get under your skin a second chance? The boss that doesn’t like you. The person who is spreading gossip about you? Your mortal enemy?
That is where Jonah is mentally in chapter 3. He is now going to deliver a message so that he is faithful to God, to a people he doesn’t think deserves it. But God is there to give you a second chance and use you to give second chances!
