Habit of small group fellowship.<br>3. Habit of a daily time alone with God.<br>4. Habit of memorizing God’s Word.</p>

<p>Pastor Carl-Gustaf Severin shares a message at Coastal Church's 25th Anniversary Celebration.</p>

<p>The Bible warns us against the dangers of greed but it also provides us with instruction on how to rewarding generous life.</p>

<p>Contentment is not based on what is happening to you on the outside, but what is happening on the inside.</p>

<p>The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. – Proverbs 4:18</p>

<p>Prayer is the detonator to the dynamite of God’s power, we do the detonating and God does the exploding. The prayer of Jabez is one example of the powerful effective prayers found in the Bible.</p>

<p>In order to develop contentment in our lives we need to learn what to do when we find ourselves alone.</p>

<p>Bill Hogg works as the National Missiologist for the C2C Network, where he shares his passion to help leaders and established churches think and act like missionaries. He is available to inspire, equip and coach leaders and churches following Jesus into the Canadian mission fields.</p>

<p>Insecurity is something we all struggle with to some degree. Our feelings of insecurity are related to our sense of identity, how we see ourselves and how we think others see us. The movie Wonder conveys the truth that we all need love and encouragement from family and sincere friends when we feel insecure.</p>

<p>Achieving peak performance in your life is not enough to make you content. No matter how gifted you might be, contentment is found when you honour the Source of the gift and live in harmony with others.</p>

<p>The Bible tells us to be content with anything, even when there is calamity in our life. The movie "Inside Out" shows us that joy in this life can be real, even when mixed with harder memories and experiences.</p>

<p>This weekend features guest speaker Michael Franzese, former Underboss of New York’s violent and feared Colombo crime family. Michael is determined to use the compelling experiences of his former life for anyone seeking the inspiration to beat the odds and make positive changes in their lives, he has become a highly regarded motivator and a source of invaluable information.</p>

<p>The Spiritual gifts are supernatural abilities bestowed on individuals, to flow through them at the will of the Holy Spirit revealing the love and power of God.</p>

<p>Guest Speakers Kevin & Julia Garratt share with us about their time in prison in China.</p>

<p>The best characteristics of an earthly father are those of our heavenly Father, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit.</p>

<p>Today is Pentecost Sunday, the day the church was born. On this special day, 50 days after Passover, 120 believers gathered in an upper room and here they were endued with the power of the Holy Spirit as Jesus had promised.</p>

<p>When you intertwine your life with the Holy Spirit, God’s strength becomes your strength.</p>

<p>Pastor Jachin Mullen from Home Church in Red Deer, Alberta, shares how The Holy Spirit heals hearts.</p>

<p>The Strength of the Holy Spirit is available to empower and guide us in the challenges of life.</p>

<p>While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” – Acts 19:1-2 (NIV)</p>
