    Why do we want to pray for the Holy Spirit to come?

    When you hear the word kamikaze what comes to mind? Allied sailors who served in the Pacific during World War II would probably think of Japanese airplanes deliberately slamming into Allied ships. Although kamikaze pilots didn’t stop the advance on Japan, they did manage to sink about 50 ...read more

    In shifting to a blitzkrieg examination of the role of the church in the Book of Acts, I reworked my sermon on Acts 1. This has some repetition with the other one posted a couple of years ago, but has some new material, too.

    Do any of you know what is the last word in the Book of Acts? It is ακωλυτως, pronounced “ah-koh-LOO-tohs” by some and “ah-koh-LEE-tohs” by others, and means “not-hindered,” “not prevented,” “not ...read more

    Jesus promised that his disciples would receive Power when the Holy Spirit came upon them.

    The Promise of Pentecost Acts 1: 1 – 8 The forty days between the resurrection of Jesus and his ascension to the right hand of the Father must have been strange days indeed.

    Speaking In Tongues As Initial Evidence Series

    Contributed by Pastor Glen Key on Mar 2, 2011
     | 7,201 views

    Speaking in other tongues is a Biblical part of the Christian experience. It makes people uncomfortable because it stretches us in ways that we are not used to begin stretched.
