    While there are a number of preaching patterns to follow, I keep coming back to a simple outline I first learned some forty years ago. It goes like this – Hook, Book, Look and Took.

    Many things are done that are attributed to the Spirit, but He did not do them. Discernment is needed.

    In the New Testament accounts, those who believed were baptized. No one was baptized and then believed, but those who believed were baptized because they were saved.

    “When [those listening] heard [Peter’s command] they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will ...read more

     | 4,773 views

    Basedon Acts 2:1-21, this sermon talks about how our attitude about the Holy Spirit affects our ability to let the Spirit work in our lives.

    I know many of you won’t want to admit it, but I bet there are passages in the Bible that you don’t particularly care for. Not because they cut too deep or because you don’t understand them, but simply because they don’t excite you. Well, I have a confession to make. When I ...read more

    While we celebrate Christmas and Easter (and rightly so) many Christians don't celebrate The Day of Pentecost like we should. God came to earth again just in a different personage on Pentecost but the coming of the Holy Spirit is just as important as when

    Last week we talked about the two men on the road to Emmaus and how Jesus appeared to them and in so doing fulfilled a promise that was made before He was ever killed. The promise that He would be resurrected from the dead and then show Himself too many people afterwards. On Easter Sunday we ...read more

    God is going to reach a lost world through the empowering of the Holy Spirit and His church. We depend on One and devote to building His church through the teaching of His Word, fellowship, communion and prayer.

    Reaching the lost world for Christ would necessarily mean the birth of the Church, the body of Christ, the gathering of believers in Christ. • This is a divine institution, not a man-made organisation. Through the Body of Christ the world will come to see Christ. • The Church is the ...read more
