Prophecy in Real Life

How do we handle a prophetic word that misses the mark? Does the Holy Spirit give conflicting directions? Join us for a dive into Acts that shows how Paul handled prophetic revelation while purportedly trying to follow the leading of the Spirit.

Handling Prophecy in Church

What is our posture towards the prophetic? What does it look like to have prophecy shared in the church? What if someone shares something that is off? Join us for an honest look at NT prophecy and how both conservative evangelicals and charismatics have something to learn from each other.

What is Prophecy in the NT?

Is it predicting the future? Is it preaching? Is it something more? Join us as we unpack what this powerful gift can look like.

Sharing Tongues in Church

How are tongues to be shared publicly? How do we keep order while not quenching the Spirit? In this practical message, we address what it means to “keep silent” in church, how one might go about ensuring there is an “interpreter”, and what it means to “speak to himself and to God”. If you’re looking for biblical parameters for publicly exercising the gift of tongues, this message is for you.

Tongues

What is this spiritual gift? Is it just nonsense? Can all have it? Join us to see what 1 Corinthians 14 actually says about this highly controversial charisma.

Correction Instead of Prohibition

How should we handle the misuse and abuse of spiritual gifts? The answer isn’t shutting them down; the answer is practicing them the right way. Join Pastor Adam Kees as he unpacks 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. We talk about prophecy, tongues, and how to receive more gifts than you currently have.

Love in Everything

“Love is patient, love is kind…” These words weren’t written for a wedding, but for HOW we should operate in the gifts. What does it look like to have tongues, prophecy, and the other gifts exercised in love? What does it look like to have spiritual gifts be blessings and not tools of division, envy, and manipulation? Join us to see how we can walk in this far better way.

Teaching, Helps, Administrations, & Greater Gifts

What is the gift of teaching? Helps? Administrations? How do these gifts play out in the life of the church? And what are the “greater” gifts? Let’s dive into 1 Corinthians 12:27-31.

Every Person & Every Gift Matters

Feel like you have little to offer? Feel like your gift is more important than others? Pastor Adam says it’s likely the Apostle Paul speaks to both of these groups in 1 Corinthians 12:12-26. See how God intends for us to function as a body and how every single Christian should operate in their gift in order for us to the Body of Christ to function as we could.

Effecting of Miracles & Distinguishing of Spirits

Pastor Adam Kees continues in our “Spiritual Gifts” series by talking about two more gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12, and also speaking to a popular question: How do I discover my gifts? If you’ve had questions about your giftings, or want to figure out what God might have given you, this message can help.

Gifts of Healings

Does God still work through people to bring healing? Why is it that some people seemed graced with an ability to heal specific things? Should we all pray for healing or only elders? How do we handle praying for someone and nothing happens? Can anyone heal on demand? What practical parameters are there to praying for divine healing? Join Pastor Adam Kees as we address all of these questions.

Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith

What is “word of wisdom”, “word of knowledge”, and “faith” in 1 Corinthians 12? Would you like to operate in these gifts? Have you seen these gifts abused? Join Pastor Adam Kees as we seek to understand and function in these gracious gifts biblically.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7,11

What is a spiritual gift? What is a manifestation of the Spirit? Pastor Adam Kees takes us on a deep dive into some critical passages that shape our understanding of Scripture and our corresponding application of Scripture.

1 Corinthians 12:1-3

The largest section of Scripture focusing on spiritual gifts and their use in the local church is 1 Corinthians 12-14. Pastor Adam Kees gives a glimpse of why this was written and the greater context surrounding it. Then we dive into three verses that begin this section. You might relate to the Christians in Corinth more than you think.

Word AND Spirit

Our Christian walk should rightly value the Word of God AND the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s ministry. Pastor Adam Kees says that we can hold high the supremacy of Scripture AND seek the present-day move of the Spirit. If you’re a Christian who has found yourself caught between conservative evangelicals and charismatics this might be the message for you.
