Harvest Church of Minden

#164 The Gift of Exhortation

Today we look at the importance of encouraging one another in Christ in order to build up the body. There are many opportunities each day to encourage someone else, are we doing so in vanity, or are we encouraging people unto Christ?

#163 The Gift of Teaching

Today we look at the important gift of teaching, and the need to base it in the word. WE also look at the misleading and false nature of deconstruction within the church. He and he alone is our source for truth. 

#162 The Gift of Service

Today we begin our walkthrough of the individual gifts and we start with Service in Romans 12. The question is similar throughout history, whom will you serve. After being all in for Jesus, we need to obey the promptings of the Spirit as he calls us to serve in a variety of ways.

#161How to Understand Spiritual Gifts in Rom. 12

As we begin to look at Rom. 12, we start with some general observations and context to help us better understand the Spiritual Gifts. We look at Paul's understanding of the Charismata and the analogy of the body to describe the church. And how in everything God is getting the glory.

#160 Shepherds and Teachers

Finishing up the office portion of Ephesians 4, we look at how important shepherds and teachers are to the church body. We study the debated issues within these terms and look at how scripture describes shepherds as the elders of the early churches. 

#159 The Evangelist

Today we look at the important role of communicating the gospel message 

#158 The Office of Prophet

Today we explore our understandings of the prophet and how to keep that separate from the gift. We look at how they are the mouthpiece of God and crucial for the foundation of the church. 

#157 The Office of the Apostle

We look at little deeper at the understanding of the offices as described by Paul in Ephesians. Starting with the office of the apostle, we want to clearly understand the meaning behind the term being used, and how we often will use it for our own understanding. This can impact how we view the office and move forward in His Kingdom. 

#156 Purpose for the New Year

Today we have an introductory message on the upcoming series with the Spiritual gifts. We look at each passage with a little annotation and try to get a good context for how we are moving forward

#155 Advent Week4

To finish up the advent season, we examine joy within Isaiah 12 and how Jesus is the well to our life and salvation. We rejoice and sing praise to him
