    For Ascension and for Graduate Recognition: when we think we are ready for life, we may be the least ready! Trusting the Lord, however, will provide a challenging life plan. The church can and will support young adults who dream great dreams for the Lor

    Every year about this time we engage in a little ritual. In May or June, proud families drive off to some distant university, there to celebrate with a young adult who has finally slugged through four or more years of classes, writing papers, taking exams, and surviving all-nighters, and who is ...read more

    Sump'n Other Than Slump'n

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 8, 2003
    based on 68 ratings
     | 3,865 views

    Churches, like individuals, have "body language". If we seem to be slumping, let’s look at our victories; and let’s look at the body language for mission: bending the knees, touching power, expecting the Presence.

    Even if you cannot hear what someone is saying with his lips, you can often read his body language. The words may not be clear, but the body language may be eloquent. What is body language? Body language is posture, gesturing, facial expressions, the way you present yourself to others. And that ...read more

    • Today the effectiveness of the church still depends upon our understanding of the Holy Spirit and our willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to minister to others through us.

    Why the Spirit Came Acts 1:8 I Cor 2: 14 • Acts chapter one marks the end of the earthly ministry of Christ and the foundation of the church by the apostles • Jesus prepared the disciples to be in ministry so when they were filled with the Holy Spirit they would launch the ministry of the new ...read more

    The Power Of A Personal Pentecost

    based on 105 ratings
     | 11,416 views

    The Book of Acts records two great "Pentecostal" experiences in the early church. But often, throughout church history, many personal “Pentecosts” have occurred.

    THE POWER OF A PERSONAL PENTECOST "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8. The Book of Acts records two great "Pentecostal" experiences in the early ...read more

    The Power Of Pentecost

     | 22,638 views

    1. The power of pentecost is the power to witness. 2. The power to witness does not come from us, but from God. 3. A lack of witness indicates a lack of power.

    The Power Of Pentecost May 19, 2002 Acts 1:1-8 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. To them he presented himself ...read more

    Standing Around Looking Cool Series

    based on 71 ratings
     | 8,405 views

    When we feel insecure, we back off from situations. But when the Holy Spirit comes, there is passion, there is witness.

    Is everybody cool? Is everybody cool? I am not referring to the temperature in the building, but to the climate in your soul! Are you cool? “Cool” is an all-purpose word, used to describe a certain attitude. Instead of defining it, let me illustrate it. I was attending a repast at a family ...read more

     | 10,629 views

    Satan does his best to thwart the plans of God and the preaching of the gospel, but he is a defeated enemy because God has anointed the church with the Holy Ghost and fire!

    DON’T MESS WITH US DEVIL By Pastor Jim May One of the marks of a true church and of a true Born Again Child of God is that they have power at their disposal beyond anything that the world can produce or that Hell can gush forth. In Acts 1:8, Jesus said these words to the disciples before He ...read more

    Guidelines for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit This may seem like a strange title for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, but the working of the Spirit is in conjunction with God’s Word.

    Jesus Christ has a passion for people which is contagious. We have to catch the passion and spread it.
