  • Reveal Jackson 2022

    Reveal Jackson is back! This year our Holy Spirit themes revolve around that of evangelism, deliverance, and music as we look to bring our city into fuller worship. Evangelism means more worshippers. Deliverance means the ability to worship more fully. And music creates the space for God to be enthroned in our worship as we…

  • The Natural Outreach of Supernatural Ministry

    At some point during the week, an outdoor light on the side of the Pentecostal church I attended in college caught fire. I will always find the neighbor’s reported reaction quite humorous: “I’ve heard of stuff like this happening over there!” We, of course, weren’t running around setting our lights on fire. But we were…

  • The New Creation Spirit of Pentecost

    As the mighty rushing wind of the Holy Spirit blows through the early church, their lives are empowered and transformed into something different. The new creation to come begins to burst out of these Christians in power, in character, and even sociologically.

  • A Prayer for Jackson, MI

    Urban Jackson is built on dividing lines Severed by roads that hold back The Bride of Christ from embodying herself In her truest form: A multi-ethnic beauty that refuses The socio-economic boundaries That society declares “must exist” “No” rebukes our King For he is just as much for them as for you He is no…

  • Ananias, Sapphira, and Barnabas

    The desire to match or one-up another person is a quality best left in sports. After all, that’s kind of the point of sports. But occasionally the desire to set records and be known for our accomplishments bleeds through into our church life. Maybe we give ourselves over to physical displays of worship so we…

  • Pentecost and Utopia

    Pentecost is, in part, the story of the already-but-not-yet of resurrection life; for without the Holy Spirit, there is no resurrection. He is the one who raised Jesus from the dead. He is the one metamorphosing us into Christ-likeness. He is the one growing the fruit of Godly character in us. He is helping us…

  • The Human of Humans

    After Adam and Eve sinned, they and their predecessors would have to deal with the consequences. But they were not left without hope, for God promised that one day a descendant of Eve would rise up and destroy the serpent for what he had done. And as the Bible continues on, this coming-child’s genetic line…

  • Mountains, Towers and Tongues

    As weird as it sounds, in ancient cosmology the peaks of the earth overlapped with the depths of the Heavens. Therefore, you might run into a spiritual being if you moved high enough in elevation. Even the Bible carries this view as God often shows up in mountaintop experiences, be it Eden, Sinai, Mount Zion,…

  • Casting Lots Over Matthias

    “What if we flipped a coin?” a friend once proposed. “I mean, we like both applicants the same amount and the disciples more or less did the same thing when they chose Matthias to take Judas’s place as the twelfth disciple.” I hadn’t been given a proposal quite like that before. There were lots of…

  • “Hold.”

    “Hold,” my wife said as I got ready to try to kick a demon out in a deliverance session. She sensed the Holy Spirit had more he needed to deal with before we removed it. “I feel like there’s something connected to their left hand.” She had no idea how accurate she was. No one…
