Discovering Your Five Fold Ministry Gift - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on the five-fold ministry from Ephesians 4, arguing that God wires believers with primary and secondary giftings - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds (pastors), and teachers - to build up the body and advance the mission. He reads Ephesians 4:1 and 4:11-12, explains each gifting's strengths, common occupations, and shadow sides, and insists these are functions/wirings (not titles or offices). Skeldon urges the church to value all five gifts working together so the body attains unity and maturity. He closes with practical counsel: know and steward your gifting, be confident in who you are, and partner with others to cover your weaknesses.
“He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ.” · Grant Skeldon

How to Overcome Anxious Thoughts | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 13:7-9 to show that anxious, negative thoughts can be changed by reorienting our thinking toward the consistent, gracious character of God. He argues that Christians often fill unknowns with worst-case scenarios, consume content that trains cynicism, and let inconsistent human leaders or past experiences dictate their view of God.
How to Make a Difference | Carl Kuhl
Carl Kuhl uses Nehemiah's story to teach how Christians can make a tangible difference in their families, churches, and communities. He begins by defining grace and telling missionary examples (the Moravians) to illustrate sacrificial commitment.
Is God Calling Me? | Austin Westlake
Austin Westlake preaches on the theme "living on standby" - being ready and available for God rather than merely saying yes with our mouths. He uses the disciples falling asleep in Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42) to show the difference between desire and discipline, and how routine can cause us to miss God's revelation.
