If the spiritual gifts are from God, why must we practice them? Our assumption is that any time God works through us, it turns out perfectly. However, like everything else in our Christian life, we are growing. In this message we look at Jesus' "Locker Room Speech" from Matthew 10. It will encourage you as you practice, practice, practice!

There is a difference between natural gifts that we are all born with, and spiritual gifts which the Holy Spirit gives to God's people. We think you will be super encouraged by this message!

Spiritual gifts are God's solution for solving problems. We often think of obvious/natural solutions first, but as Christians, we have more answers at our fingertips than meets the eye!

It is awesome that you dedicate your natural talents in service for God, but did you know that God has "spiritual" gifts that He'd like to work through you? This message was so powerful that the altar was filled and people came to Christ for salvation. We think you'll be blessed too!

When someone calls you it's because they want you. God is calling you. He wants you! In this message we learn about the three ways God calls every one of us and we learn specifically how to discern what ways God is calling us to serve.

Learning to cherish the people we work with more than the work we do is what makes ministry sweet. In this study of I Corinthians 12, Pastor Doug offers us three things that take the loneliness out of ministering to others. Be encouraged, you are not alone.

In today's message, we demolish two barriers that hold us back from giving the gifts that we've been given. Watch out! This will be dangerous for your excuses.

In this message, Pastor Doug borrows an acronym developed by Rick Warren to get us thinking about our "S.H.A.P.E." and how God has uniquely designed us each with a specific message for this generation. (Pastor Rick serves at Saddleback Church and wrote the bestselling book "Purpose Driven Life".)

This is the first talk in this collection called "Finding Your Voice". We begin by answering the "WHY?" Why did God create us? In answering this question, we begin the journey to discovering the specific way that God created you to fit into His plan on this planet. May you be encouraged today!

This is our final message in our study of Romans. As we bring this to a close, we are encouraged with this truth: In Christ we have all that we need to do all that Christ is asking us to do. We may not be experts, but we have enough to get moving forward. Let's go!!

Strong people give up the things they like to serve the ones they love. Every relationship requires giving. Thankfully, God did not give up on us! You'll find this message thought provoking and encouraging, enjoy!

God has defined a few behaviors as "sin". Every other behavior is left to our discretion. What do we do when we have a difference of opinion about whether or not an action is "sin" or not? Start by listening to this teaching from Romans 14! Be blessed.

If you're looking for a place to belong, this message will help you begin to know where you fit. You have been created with a unique set of abilities and you will find joy as you use them for God's glory.
