Redneck Christians

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Aug 22, 2009

We must get out of the upper room to live for Jesus. It is about evangelism.

Since Easter we have been considering what keeps us locked away in the upper room like the Disciples. The point that I keep trying to support is that we need to learn how to be a church that is not limited by walls…Wither as protection from the world pressing in on us or as a way of blocking our ...read more

Fire

Contributed by Larry Elder on Aug 1, 2007

One of the notable symbols of Pentecost is that of "fire." We remember that there was fire at the first Pentecost - the giving of the law to Moses 50 days after the crossing of the Red Sea as the Israelites departed Egypt. Here’s the description given to

Fire Acts 2:1-4 Acts 2:1-4… On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after Jesus’ resurrection, the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm in the skies above them, and it filled the house where they were meeting. ...read more

What Meaneth This?

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Aug 11, 2007

We still need manifestations of the power of God in our midst today that provokes the world to say (What meaneth this?)

1. the day of Pentecost was fully come. Let me stop right here and say that Pentecost is not a denomination, it is an experience, (Belonging to a certain denomination does not make you pentecostal any more than parking a v.w. under a cadillac sign makes it a cadillac).

The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Oct 12, 2010

We will be studying a topic that some have twisted so much that many are so afraid to go out on a limb they dare not even climb a tree. This topic: The Baptism of The Holy Spirit. Let’s study just the facts on this controversial topic.
