To The City (Week 4) In this message we talk about one of the most important themes of 1 Corinthians… the gifts of the Spirit.

We must eradicate the prayers of disbelief and begin to trust God at levels that we have never trusted in Him before. (Psalm 37)
Read MoreWe rarely feel ready for the courageous things that our faith calls us to do and be. Gideon felt the same way and the Lord encouraged him, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” Perhaps we are more “ready” than we realize.
