Empowered: The Truth About The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Matthew Lester on Mar 1, 2017

As a whole, we as Pentecostals believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a way to bring us closer to God, but what does the Bible tell us?

(Read Acts 1:3-8) Jesus says that the power of the Holy Spirit would come upon them. We all know that, and we all know that he tells them to witness to the world. But when do we associate the two together? Many of us can quote, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you ...read more

The Great And Awesome Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our life should be all about living in expectation for Christ's return. Praying for the end. Working for the kingdom. Making sure that we’re at peace with God, and at peace with each other.

If we ever have questions about the end of the world and about what will happen when King Jesus returns in glory, we turn to the book of Revelation. There in that last book of the Bible, there’s much about the end-times: signs and wonders, disasters and persecutions, and the Lord Jesus coming in ...read more

Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more
