On Sunday we were joined by our friend Theresa Dion, from After the Rain Christian Ministries. Theresa talked to us about what it means to be the holy bride of Christ.If a ready bride is free, then a holy bride has consecrated herself to do the will of God.Jesus is looking for faithfulness. He is looking for those who will continually receive His unending love, and respond in trust with obedience. Agreeing with God’s word is how you walk in holiness. You must first acknowledge your need for Him in order to be empowered by Him. It’s not what we do that makes us holy, but who we are in Christ. This holiness releases the power of God. If we want to see the kingdom come, we as the Church must increase in holiness.

This last Sunday we were joined by guest speaker, Phil Zahn. Phil imparted to us single-mindedness and simple love for Jesus.
When we give up our right to understand and control our lives, Jesus is able to lead us the way He wants to. Our job is to never get ahead of Him, but to stay close beside Him and behind Him, to let Him lead.
God is so trustworthy. He protects us, tells us the truth, keeps His word, and He loves spending time with us.
You were designed for this kind of relationship with Him, and this relationship is actually how the kingdom of God expands on earth.

This last Sunday, we wrapped up our Baptism Series with a teaching on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.We believe that Jesus intended you to live a life completely submerged in His Holy Spirit. Throughout the New Testament we see the filling of the Holy Spirit as a repeated experience in the life of the believer. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a baptism of love. It’s designed to purify you, to lead you, and to put God’s glory on display through you. God has designed it so that for your whole life you are surrounded by and filled with the fire of His love so that you can become love.
 
May we continually open ourselves up to be filled again with His Spirit that we might experience all that He has for us!

As Christians, we believe that Jesus’ Resurrection is the most significant event in all of human history. 
 
The Resurrection solves the ultimate problem that all other problems point to - death.
 
Ever since Adam and Eve chose death in the garden, humans have been arranging their lives to avoid the pain, loss and suffering that comes with mortality. 
 
God didn’t make humans to die, so He came and died as a human and was raised, that we could live forever with Him. The ultimate gift, the greatest news of all time. This is what we celebrate on Easter Sunday.

This last Sunday, we heard from Bria Wolter on what it means to steward the reality of our baptism into Christ.Your baptism affords you a new position in life that comes with a new way of living. We live out this new position through a life of communion, consecration, and fresh oil. Everything He did, He did so He could be close to you. We pray that you are filled with fresh hope and joy at the reality of your baptism into Christ!

This last Sunday we got to hear from one of our elders, Austin Smith, on baptism as the entry into New Covenant family.When you got baptized, you entered into a family, not just a religion. The culture of this family is distinct, and in order to live the life you were mean to live in Christ, you must learn to prioritize the one thing that the family prioritizes - loving and cherishing God above all else.We don’t do things for God to gain His approval and we don’t manipulate His love for desired outcomes in our life. Our joy in life is simply to know Him and love Him.
