  4. Are Miraculous Gifts for Today?

    Posted on April 25th, 2013 by Eric Parker

    There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church today. We see amazing signs and wonders being done in the New Testament, and we may even hear stories from overseas about people being healed, or demons being cast out, all the while wondering about the validity of these stories.

    In this clip Pastor David explores the question of whether the miraculous gifts recorded in the New Testament are still continuing today.

  5. The Name is Still Good

    Posted on April 18th, 2013 by Eric Parker

     

    The name of Jesus can often be said without a second thought. The name of Jesus can be spit upon and abused by the world. However, there is power in this name. The blind have received their sight, the lame have been healed, and leapers have been cleansed, all through the name of Jesus.

    The question for us today is this: Do we believe God is still working powerfully through this name? Pastor David encourages  us to have a deeper trust in the person and work of Jesus in the mission.

    Posted on February 28th, 2013 by Jonathan Lenning

  10. “Is the credit card system the mark of the beast?”

    Posted on February 27th, 2013 by Jonathan Lenning

    Maybe that’s not your question. Yours could be, “Can a loving God really condemn people to eternal hell?” Or maybe you’re wondering what the rapture is and if people will simply disappear. Are there really gold streets in heaven? Will there be golf? If so, will you finally be able to shoot par? You could be trying to figure out whether hell is a literal lake of fire or if its fiery description is symbolic. Are there different levels for worse people? Does any of it ever end?

    You could have a thousand questions about the end times, heaven, and hell. But are your questions the right ones?
