Faith, Hope And The Resurrection

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 18, 2015

Jesus gives us salvation, but only if we repent and are baptized in his name. The Holy Spirit gives power to God’s people, the end times are here, the Messiah has come and a message of salvation must be preached.

When the disciples spoke in tongues, some people in the crowd thought that they were drunk. Peter stated that this was not true ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 28, 2018

Although there were clear warnings, Peter ignored those and denied Jesus. We may tend to be critical, but we have been guilty of failing to heed the warnings of the Spirit. Warnings left unheeded are of no value.
