Do You Want to Multiply Your Efforts? Consider How You Listen
 by David Koop, Pastor of Coastal Church

Today we hear more voices competing for our attention than ever before. In today's digital culture the average person hears over 5,000 media messages per day compared to 300 forty years ago. The amount of content that is uploaded daily on all kinds of platforms is staggering. For example, over 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute! Almost 5 billion videos are watched on YouTube every single day.

More than ever, we must be discerning about what we listen to. However, it is not just what we listen to, but how we listen. The way we hear, the way we process what we heard, is vital to our success in life.

How is it that two people can attend the same school or church, and one succeeds and the other doesn't?  Read more.

MiracleMiracle Invasion to be Released at 2018 PCCNA Meeting
Miracle Invasion's purpose is to demonstrate the supernatural, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are alive and well...they are for today...they are happening here and now!  The book is a collection of true, authenticated miracle stories that take place in our lifetime on the North American continent.  Not stories from the mission field...and not memories from our parents or grandparents...these amazing miracles happened in our lives during our own journeys of faith.

All nine gifts of the Spirit are represented in the stories.The book brings hope and encouragement.  It inspires and lifts. Readers will come to believe that they too are on the brink of a miracle.

And importantly, Miracle Invasion also speaks to leaders and pastors. It will call ministry leaders to new levels of faith and obedience. The Holy Spirit distributed these gifts...we are not to fear or shun them...we should move in faith and obey the Spirit's prompting. When we do chains will break and shackles will be loosed. People in bondage will be liberated and prisoners will be set free. The world is waiting for ambassadors of the Spirit to unleash the gifts He gave to the Church. -
