If you've never heard of the word ‘gusto,' it means doing something with zest or a spark. That's the way most of us want to live our lives.  But most people don't live with gusto. They're stuck in their comfort zones, which prevent them from taking on the challenges they need to grow. Having gusto is about pushing out of comfort zones to live life to the max.

Happy New Year! In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we kick off the year by looking at the upcoming Sermon Series at Crosswinds, Body and Spirit, starting January 5th, 2025. In our series Body and Spirit, we will utilize Timothy Tennent's book For the Body to explore a biblical theology of the body, emphasizing the body's role in Christian discipleship, worship, and eschatology. We will explore how our physical bodies fit into God's redemptive plan, diving into practical and theological implications. Ultimately, we will grasp how a biblical theology of the body shapes our understanding of creation and salvation in everyday aspects of our lives. This week, Pastor Craig Cooper is joined by fellow pastor on staff Elijah Merrill, the Technical Arts Director.Visit us online: crosswinds.church

The Holy Spirit is our invisible partner in living out the word of God in the service of the Master Yeshua. He is not some unknowable, mysterious force to be feared or ignored, nor is He a mystical spigot that we can switch on for our spiritual indulgence. To correctly understand and walk in the Spirit, we need biblical balance. In this first part of a 3-part series, Kevin reintroduces us to the Holy Spirit, not according to doctrinal faith traditions or subjective personal experience, but according to the written revelation of Scriptures.

Sermon: The Gift of the Holy Spirit Series: Living in the Spirit
 Introduction: The Greatest Gift * The Christmas story is about God's love demonstrated through the gift of Jesus Christ. * Just as the angels proclaimed the arrival of peace and goodwill to shepherds, God's ultimate plan was not only to save but also to dwell within us through the Holy Spirit. * Christmas is a time of giving, and through the Holy Spirit, God gives us gifts that transform, empower, and guide us. I. The Holy Spirit: A Promise Fulfilled * Luke 2:11: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”     * Jesus' birth fulfilled the promise of redemption, paving the way for the gift of the Spirit.     * The miracle birth of Jesus through the Holy Spirit made the rebirth of mankind possible through the Holy Spirit. * John 14:16-17: Jesus promised His disciples a Helper who would live with and in them, ensuring they were never alone.     * Just as the shepherds rejoiced at the news of Christ's birth, we rejoice in the Spirit's presence. II. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit comes bearing gifts that enable us to live out the message of Christmas every day. Emanuel, God is with us! He is with us because He is in us when we serve others; we become His hands and feet as the body of Christ to manifest His presence all around us. 1. The Gift of Adoption     * Romans 8:15: “You have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!'”     * Through the Holy Spirit, we are made children of God, part of His family, and heirs of His promises.     * This adoption reflects the inclusiveness of the shepherds' message—available to all who believe. 2. The Gift of Comfort and Peace     * John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”     * Just as the angels proclaimed peace on earth, the Spirit gives us an internal peace that surpasses all understanding, especially in trials. 3. The Gift of Guidance     * John 16:13: “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”     * The wise men followed a star; today, we follow the Spirit, who illuminates God's will and guides us in our decisions. 4. The Gift of Power     * Acts 1:8: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”     * Through the Spirit, we are empowered to live boldly for Him, spreading His message of salvation. 5. The Gift of Transformation     * Galatians 5:22-23: The fruit of the Spirit transforms us from within, reflecting Christ in our character.     * This inner transformation mirrors the miraculous nature of Christmas—a world forever changed by the Savior's arrival. III. The Spiritual Gifts in Scripture In addition to these foundational gifts, the Holy Spirit equips us with unique gifts for ministry and service. 1. The Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8-10)     * Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discernment, Tongues, and Interpretation of Tongues.     * These gifts demonstrate the Spirit's power in supernatural ways, enabling us to minister effectively to others. 2. The Gifts for Building the Church (Ephesians 4:7-13)     * Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.     * These leadership gifts equip the body of Christ for works of service and maturity in faith. 3. The Sevenfold Spirit (Isaiah 11:2-3)     * The Spirit of the Lord, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and Fear of the Lord.     * These attributes empower us to live godly lives and make decisions that align with God's will. 4. The Motivational Gifts (Romans 12:3-8)     * Prophesying, Serving, Teaching, Encouraging, Giving, Leading, and Showing Mercy.     * These gifts reflect the diversity of God's design for His church, allowing every believer to contribute uniquely. IV. Living in the Spirit: A Life of Overflowing Gifts * As we receive these gifts, we are called to share them with others:     1. The Gift of Adoption leads us to welcome others into God's family.     2. The Gift of Comfort equips us to comfort those in pain.     3. The Gift of Guidance helps us lead others to the truth.     4. The Gift of Power emboldens us to share the gospel.     5. The Spiritual Gifts enable us to build the church and fulfill our unique callings. The Charge: Receiving and Sharing the Gift * The angels' proclamation of Christ's birth reminds us that the most incredible gifts bring glory to God and benefit others. * This Christmas, let us celebrate the Holy Spirit—the continuation of God's gift of Emmanuel, “God with us.” * As we embark on the Living in the Spirit Series, may we embrace His gifts and live a life that reflects His presence. -- Praise Tabernacle Dr. Joshua Kennedy,  Pastor 2235 Ocean Heights  Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234 pastorjosh@praisetabernacle.com praisetabernacle.church  (609) 927-4560(w) 

Rev. Dr. Dean Courtier preaching on 'Living the Transformed Life (3): Bearing Fruit in the Spirit' at Estuary Elim Online.

Preacher: Amy Druck Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Preacher: Kathy Maskell Scripture: Galatians 5:19-23 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality,impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

Preacher: Becca Knudsen Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23, James 1:2-4 Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. James 1:2-4 (The Message Version) 2-4 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

Grab Your FREE Consult today!   This week is week two in our Fruit of the Spirit Series.   What Does It Mean To Have Joy In The Holy Spirit? When we think about joy, we often think about happiness. But there's more to joy than just being happy. The Bible says that God wants us to experience “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8). This means that when we live our lives in obedience to Him, He will give us joy that goes beyond mere happiness.     Today I am talking about 4 truths when it comes to Joy, and what it means to have Joy in the Spirit.  Sister, I am talking about a Joy that cannot be taken from you, a joy that does not depend on the circumstances of your life, and a joy that will sustain you through good times and bad.   Joy is a Choice.  Joy is a Gift.  Joy is Constant.  Joy is Protection.   Subscribe & Stay Connected: Don't miss future episodes where we provide practical tips for growth and development.

Grab Your FREE Consult today! This week we are starting our Fruit of the Spirit Series, talking first about Love and how to demonstrate Godly love in our lives and leadership.  Galatians 5 describes the Fruit of the Spirit as Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, and Self Control.  In other words, these are characteristics that should be evident in our lives when we are allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us.  As we grow stronger in our relationship with Christ, and seek to be more like him and led by Him, it should be obvious to those within our sphere of influence.  Living by the Spirit looks very different than living by the flesh.  It is no accident that Love is the first to be referenced.  The love spoken of in Galatians chapter 5 comes from the Greek “agape”, which means a love that seeks the highest possible welfare of others (John 15:12-14).  This love is not a feeling, it is an action.  It is manifested as service to others.  This is the very cornerstone of Servant Leadership…serving.   This kind of love is unconditional.  Deserving of it or not, we are to demonstrate agape love in our words and actions toward others.  It is a commitment to the well-being of those we serve.   Subscribe & Stay Connected: Don't miss future episodes where we provide practical tips for growth and development.
