I really enjoy the sermons. Pastor has good sense of humor, but gives bibically based sermons. Really works to apply the scripture to modern day life. He literally challenges me every week to get out of my comfort zone, give up something, and GO for the Lord. Kids 2nd or 3rd and over go to the sermons. Kids from 4 years old to 2nd or 3rd have children's church. Small groups, and many outreach projects. Plenty of people keep kids with them during sermons, and most newborns stay with parents. Never heard anyone say a word.
Mostly praise and worship, but we do have one or two traditional hymns. Different small groups meet throughout the week and on Sundays. Numerous local, national, and international mission opportunities to get involved in.

Reason: Please do not post personal information on a public forum
Are there any churches in the Raleigh area that believe that Christians can and do overcome sin based on the scriptures AND a church not focused on either eternal security and/or the prosperity movement?

You may like Abundant Life Church in Hillsborough.
Thanks @vjh6993. I think I had listened to their sermons and ruled them out because of that. But I'll bet that info will help some folks.

The wife and I have settled on Destiny Life Church in Holly Springs.

I'm very analytical (you can probably tell by my previous posts in this thread), and my brain with its set of criteria was not drawn to this church. There are better preachers out there. Crosspointe has two great ones, but Crosspointe currently lacks a personal, friendly feel (very hard to achieve in large churches, I'm afraid), the lack of which repelled my wife. They are also perhaps not quite as spirit-filled as I would like.
But moreso, it just seemed that God was drawing me to Destiny, though my analytical brain wanted perhaps something else. On paper, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. However, I have always left it up to God in the end.
Destiny:[LIST][*]Small church - about 35 adults maybe[*]Currently meets in a middle school[*]People are extremely warm and friendly. My wife usually finds women catty and mean, but she says there are plenty of good women here.[*]Pastor is genuine, and filled with passion and vision.[*]I enjoy the worship. Mostly contemporary worship songs. Very few hymns (though I do love them). It's not necessarily the songs that I enjoy, but the joyful, exciting, yet reverent attitude and heart of worship.[*]In the several weeks I've been involved, I trust the pastor's heart and intentions.[*]Pastor has a few years of Senior Pastor experience, with more in executive pastor (I think) and youth pastor experience.[*]It is affiliated with the Assemblies of God, but I haven't seen any manifestations of the Holy Spirit (i.e. tongues, prophecies, healing, etc.) yet.[*]The pastor leads the worship (and has a nice voice, which is a plus). There are one or two assist singers. Keyboards, two guitars, and drums. I think there's one more, but can't remember.[*]Pastor's wife is kind, warm, welcoming, and passionate for the church's/God's vision.[/LIST]

I have been in Raleigh since 2001 (moved here from Queens, NY). My personal experience, since living in Raleigh in comparison to what I was used to in NY - is most of the churches I have visited are very lukewarm. Also ppl in New York are much more diligent about fasting/praying/and studying the word for themselves. I have attended most of the churches listed above and still have not found a church that I can call my "home" church. It's like the ppl are content with just getting milk.
I don't know if it's a southern thing, but the ppl are just way more relaxed when it comes to seeking God.
Just my .02 and "my personal experience"! If anyone finds a strong, bible believing church in Raleigh, please let me know!

I haven't read the recent posts here so don't know if Crossroads Fellowship on Millbrook was mentioned, but I really like this church.
