What does it look like to follow the Holy Spirit in the middle of your normal, everyday routine? In this message from the series "Everyday Presence: Life with the Holy Spirit," we walk through Acts chapter 3 and discover that the most powerful moments with God often start in the most ordinary circumstances. Peter and John weren't chasing a dramatic experience; they were simply walking to prayer. But when the Holy Spirit nudged them to stop, notice, and act, an ordinary day became the setting for an extraordinary miracle. This message explores how we can learn to recognize the Holy Spirit's nudges in our daily lives at work, at home, and in our relationships, and what it means to move from noticing to obeying with courage, even when the outcome is uncertain.

How do we hear from God when life is loud and our schedules are overflowing? In this message, Erin Gaines explores four practical ways to hear God's voice in everyday life. Drawing from personal stories and the powerful account of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, Erin shows how building a daily connection with God transforms the way we parent, navigate relationships, and respond to the people around us. Whether you're in a busy season or searching for your next step, this message will encourage you to slow down, tune in, and discover what God is already saying. Learn how to discern when God is speaking, how to respond even when it's uncomfortable, and why a word from God always calls people up and never tears them down.

When life hits you with something you didn't see coming what comes out of you reveals what's been formed in you. In this message, we look at Luke 7 and the story of the Roman centurion whose faith made Jesus stop in His tracks and marvel, "I have not found such great faith even in Israel." What was it about this man that caused Jesus to pause? And how do we develop a faith like his? Discover what it means to surrender control to the Holy Spirit, detach from a spirit of entitlement, and trust the authority of God's Word even when you don't understand His activity.
