Gifts of The Spirit | The Dove 4 | Pastor Keith Indovino

The Holy Spirit has good gifts to give believers so we can help one another. Paul wrote to the church in Corinth to address some issues they were having. One of the problems they faced was chaos in their worship services. People were using spiritual gifts for their own benefit. Through his writing, we discover the importance of being united in the midst of diversity. As the human body has many parts that form one body, the church is filled with various gifts to complete the whole. The most important thing is love. Without love, none of the gifts matter. The only way to show the kind of love God calls us to show is to know the kind of love He showed us. Small Groups are the best environment for us to use our gifts and grow in our love!

Receive The Holy Spirit | The Dove 3 | Pastor Keith Indovino

God has more in store for us than we can ever imagine. All believers are invited to receive the Holy Spirit. On the first Pentecost after the Resurrection, the Father fulfilled His promise by sending the Holy Spirit on the Jewish believers. But the promise of salvation and the Spirit wasn’t just for the Jews; it was for all people! Philip went to Samaria and shared the good news with the people of the city. When the Apostles came, they laid hands on the believers, and the Holy Spirit was given. Through this moment we see that God has more of Himself to give to believers than the initial sealing of the Spirit at the moment of salvation. We can receive the Holy Spirit by presenting ourselves, asking in faith, and choosing obedience. Experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit today!

The Comforter | The Dove 2 | Pastor Amy Indovino

This message will encourage your faith to find peace and comfort in the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the presence of the Lord and by inviting Him into your decision-making, you will have a peace that passes all understanding. The Holy Spirit is our advocate, promised by Jesus himself. He is the promised Comforter, Helper, and Counselor. When you and I feel afraid, Jesus says “Do not be troubled”. The Holy Spirit will come and comfort you in every moment you need. When you feel abandoned, as the disciples did, Jesus says, “I will never leave you”. Through the presence of the Holy Spirit, you and I can be fully comforted and at peace. The peace the Spirit brings will go beyond anything the world has to offer. Welcome His promised presence today by surrendering to Jesus.

Who Is The Holy Spirit? | The Dove 1 | Josh Palmeri

You may have heard a prayer that ends like this: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” This prayer acknowledges a single God with three distinct expressions of who He is. So who is the Holy Spirit? He is God — the personal presence of God! Scripture helps us begin to understand God’s beautifully complex identity by giving us symbols that reveal who the Holy Spirit is: Wind, Oil and a Dove. In this message, you will be reminded of how much you need the Holy Spirit to live a fully-alive and empowered life. And He is not just “out there” somewhere — God has given the Holy Spirit to live in you when you hear the Gospel of Jesus and believe!

ANTS That Kill A Marriage | Save The Date 3 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Did you know the most talkative person you know is YOU? Think about it. You are with you all the time and you talk to yourself all day long! What are you telling yourself about your relationships? Are your thoughts positive and faith-filled? Every person has ANTS – Automatic Negative Thoughts – that cycle in our heads on repeat. To stop the negative cycle, we need to capture, question and replace negative thoughts with the truth of what God says about us. In this message, learn four lies that will destroy any marriage, and hear the truth about each of those that will bring you freedom.

Before "I Do" | Save The Date 2 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Many of us have asked the question, "How do I find the right person?" Have you ever considered that a better question may be, "How do I become the right person?" After all, you don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are! Regardless of relationship status, we all need three essential qualities to live a full life: secure in Christ, strong in character, and planted in community. Living in God's love results in strong character in our speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. When we understand this, we see that marriage isn't the goal… Jesus is!

Whats Marriage All About? | Save The Date 1 | Pastor Amy Indovino

God’s design for marriage is very clear. Culture tells us we can live with an individualistic approach, but according to God, marriage is based on a mutual commitment to one another. Through reading about the marriage relationship between King David and Michal (Saul’s daughter), we will discover three qualities that make a Godly marriage. Michal suffered because she did not know the importance of these qualities within her marriage. You and I are invited to a renewal covenant with the Lord so that we can declare that we will serve the Lord for the rest of our lives!

A Living Hope | Easter Sunday | Pastor Keith Indovino

What are you living for? Do you have hope? If you are missing hope in your life, the likely reason is that what you’ve put your hope in isn’t a living hope. After Jesus died, the disciples lost hope. They went back to their previous source of hope, but it didn’t fulfill them. When the resurrected Jesus showed up, hope was restored. Peter had a miraculous moment of restoration on the beach. Easter means you and I have a living hope. The Christian life comes down to two words: Follow me. When we follow Jesus, we experience a hope that never dies.

The Lord Needs It | Palm Sunday | Pastor Keith Indovino

Palm Sunday reveals diverse acts of worship: disciples' obedience, the donkey owner's generosity, the crowds' praise, and the Pharisees' pride. Despite the celebration, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, foreseeing rejection. Reflecting on obedience, generosity, true worship, and humility, we're called to emulate discipleship, generously offer to God our whole lives, praise unceasingly, and guard against pride. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, may we echo the sentiment: 'The Lord needs it,' surrendering everything in worship, acknowledging His Lordship.
