REFINER’S FIRE: Times of Refreshing, pt. 6

This teaching highlights two areas God will target to prune His people, and four tools that God uses to do it.  A grand destiny of abundant fruitfulness awaits those who recognize how God prunes His people in these ways and knows how to respond properly.  

SHAPED BY THE MASTER: Times of Refreshing, pt. 5

Like an artist producing a sculpture, God is faithfully at work in us chiseling away everything that doesn't look like Christ.  And sometimes submitting to that chiseling process can be painful.  But it's in this process of pruning that real and lasting transformation takes place.  Get ready to be prepared for greater fruitfulness to the Master by learning where and how He prunes us as we mature in Christ.  

EXTRAVAGANT FRUITFULNESS: Times of Refreshing pt. 4

There will be a time in the life of every mature believer when God will give the opportunity to release everything we love -- even some worthwhile activities and goals -- into His sovereign keeping.  It is at this point that we reach a crossroad in our destinies: will we stay where we are, or will we progress into a level of fruitfulness that few Christians ever reach?  Brace yourself to learn about radical pruning and radical abundance!   

GOOD FRUIT, AND MORE GOOD FRUIT: Times of Refreshing, pt. 3

What does God do when the branches of our lives are bearing SOME good fruit, but our baskets still have room for more?  That's the concept of pruning that we discuss in this teaching.  

ABOUNDING FRUITFULNESS: Times of Refreshing, pt. 2

Many Christians live in a nebulous state of dissatisfaction in their spiritual lives and don't know why, never relating their sense of disconnectedness with God to their choices.  Other people are living under the discipline of God because of chronic and unaddressed sin issues that are blighting their lives and making them unfruitful.  This teaching will help you to recognize God's methods of discipline, and how we can go on to enjoy the abounding fruitfulness that both you and God want.   

Times of Refreshing

Many people have lamented the troubles and challenges of 2022.  And while it was a difficult year in some ways, it was also a wonderful year in other ways because God is always working behind the scenes even when we don't see it.  This teaching deals with how we can stay in a perpetual place of refreshing this year.  

MORE GRACE

Did you know there are different levels of grace God extends to different people?  That's why James 4:6 says He gives "more grace" as it relates to those who humble themselves.  This is the foundation upon which we take a deep dive into the many benefits of fasting.  

Overcoming Idolatry, by Brent Denney

Idolatry can exist in many forms, and Brent Denney teaches us how to recognize it.  

TRUE AND FALSE CONCEPTS ABOUT MONEY: Money Matters, part 6

There are many concepts about money and possessions that God addresses in the Bible which even many Christians don't seem to have a firm grasp on.  This teaching addresses many true and false notions about money popular in this culture, providing guidance and direction from the scriptures that will help us avoid the landmines of lacking understanding along these lines.  

SPECIAL OFFERINGS AND EXTRAVAGANT OFFERINGS: Money Matters pt. 5

Did you know there are at least 4 levels of giving represented in the Bible?  Beyond tithes and alms to the poor are also two other levels of generosity that we discuss in detail in this teaching.  While these levels of giving will challenge you and stretch your faith, there is also the promise of extravagant blessings for those who live this way.  Pastor Andy also shares some of his personal testimony about how God has blessed him as he and his wife Donna have endeavored to practice what he teaches in this sermon, which is learning to excel in the grace of giving more and more and never saying, "That's enough."  Prepare to be inspired in your generosity like never before.
