The Asecension Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 13, 2021

There are three events in the life of Christ that get an awful lot of publicity: the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus, and the resurrection of Jesus. We have recognized holidays for each of these: Christmas, Good Friday, and we have Easter. But the Ascension of Jesus is neglected by comparison.

Reflections On Ascension Day

Contributed by Ivy Drafor Amenyah on May 13, 2021

Ascension is an important even after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We need to understand it, study the dynamics and experience the blessings of the day.

It's A Miracle! It's A God Thing! Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021

Holy Spirit Baptism Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 7, 2021

This morning, I’m going to have us look at something called “Holy Spirit baptism.” This is a subject that when mishandled can lead to a lot of confusion; not to mention, feelings of condemnation. The very first time I encountered this term was when I was in college and I attended an Assemblies of ...read more
