"Celebrating Work: Giving Ourselves to Greater Purpose" by Dusty Johnson
Listen along as Pastor Dusty shares a message about following Jesus' example of being a priest, prophet, and king and our responsibility of modeling His way in our work place. How would our view of work change if we spent time praying for those who caused us annoyance on-the-job? How would we choose to behave in a position that we may be over-qualified for? Can we see interactions with others as Divine appointment instead of obstacles?

"A New Season" by Isaac Komolafe
This past Sunday, CitySalt Church had the pleasure of hearing a word from Pastor Isaac Komolafe—District Overseer for the Foursquare Church in Nigeria-- on the subject of Pentecost and the newness that comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He is convinced that God’s power is in every believer that has accepted Jesus’ spirit into their hearts.
As he has witnessed the miracles of God in his life and ministry through the building of water wells that bring villages in Northern Nigeria fresh water, he recognizes the “living water of the gospel”. He chose to share an inspirational message that challenges believers new and old to embrace seven testaments of the Holy Spirit at work in those who have invited the Holy Spirit into their lives:
1. Power and boldness to witness
2. Fresh understanding of the Word of God
3. Fills our hearts with true worship
4. Power in prayer
5. Produces Fruit
6. Bind the brokenhearted (hope to the hopeless)
7. Introduces the supernatural
