In the sermon titled “More Holy Spirit,” Pastor David Norris shares a clear, relatable message about what it means to make room for the Holy Spirit to move fully in our lives. Using a Chick-fil-A cup, water, and ice, he illustrates how acts of the flesh are like ice that crowds out the space where the Spirit wants to fill us up.
Drawing from John 3:26–30 (NLT) — where John the Baptist says, “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less” — Pastor David reminds us that to have more of the Spirit, we must let go of the things that block Him.
If your heart is cluttered with unforgiveness, anger, or hidden pain, it might look full on the outside — but inside, there’s not enough room for the Spirit to flow freely. When we invite God to remove the ice, we open ourselves to be completely filled with the living water of the Holy Spirit.
📖 “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” — John 3:30 (NLT)
In this message, Pastor David Norris teaches on the powerful connection between the Fruits and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit — and why they’re both essential for a vibrant, Spirit-filled life.
Drawing from Galatians 5 and other key Scriptures, Pastor David explains how the fruits of the Spirit shape our character — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control — while the gifts of the Spirit equip us for ministry, impact, and supernatural living.
Near the end of his message, Pastor David shares a practical glimpse into his own daily walk with God — how he goes through a simple list each day to align his heart with the Spirit’s fruits and gifts.
📖 “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” — Galatians 5:22-23
In this message titled “Filled Up,” Pastor David Norris unpacks what it means to live a life overflowing with the Holy Spirit instead of chasing empty substitutes that never satisfy.
Rooted in Ephesians 5:18–20, this sermon contrasts the fleeting highs of alcohol, money, or illicit pleasures with the deep, lasting fulfillment that comes when we’re “drunk” with the Spirit—filled to the brim through worship, gratitude, and praise.
📖 “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit…” — Ephesians 5:18–20
Pastor David shares three keys to a life that overflows:
1️⃣ Searching — What are you really looking for?
2️⃣ Filled Up — Let the Holy Spirit satisfy your deepest thirst.
3️⃣ Singing to the Lord — Discover the power of praise to fill you daily.
Do you have dry bones that need reviving?
In this message, Pastor Maddie Box shares a powerful word titled “A Valley to an Army,” part of this month’s Holy Spirit sermon series. Drawing from the vision in Ezekiel 37, she explores how the dry, hidden places in our lives—our hurts, struggles, and wounds we rarely expose—can be brought to life when we allow the Holy Spirit to breathe into them.
God doesn’t just see a valley of brokenness—He sees potential, purpose, and an army rising. When we surrender those hidden parts to Him, He brings healing, restoration, and boldness to walk in our calling.
During the final week of our sermon series, Holy Spirit, Pastor Kim Norris discusses the importance of standing in the gap for others in prayer. It can be discouraging to pray for lost family members, deliverance, and miracles, especially when we don’t see evidence that God is moving. Pastor Kim reminds us that Jesus is the beginning of miracles and that the Gospel has the power to change lives. This message is a reminder that no matter what your circumstances, you may be the only one standing in the gap for someone else in prayer.

In the third week of our series Holy Spirit, Pastor Dave talks about what it means to make room in our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to move. PD goes over the ways we can fill ourselves up with “ice”, rather than allow God to have the space to fill us up with what He wants for us.
