The Heard, They Saw, They Spoke

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on May 24, 2021

Jesus gives His authority to His disciples, so that as they journey through this life, by His Spirit, they are witnesses of Him. So let us go back to the first Pentecost after Jesus ascended into heaven.

During Jesus earthly ministry He taught and demonstrated in love, truth and power the Kingdom of God on earth in this world damaged by evil. The Kingdom of God is His right to rule and reign. Where His will is done on earth as it is in heaven. God’s will and saving purpose planned before the ...read more

The Gift Of Tongues

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023

The confusion of tongues God visited on his people at the tower of Babel is reversed at Pentecost.

I have to begin this sermon with a confession. I have a weakness for puns. One or two of you may have noticed it, and as faults go it’s not as bad as some. But this week, I have to admit, I gave into temptation. The title of this sermon is a pun. Because I’m not going to talk about what most ...read more

Pentecost Power

Contributed by Brian Williams on May 31, 2023

Jesus loved us so much He came to die for us, to save us, and after His ascension, empower us as His people. Do we believe this, have we experienced this? How often we miss the mark when we attempt to do spiritual work without spiritual power.

Acts 2:1-13 NLT On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and ...read more

Holy Spirit - The Doctrine And The Ministry

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 5, 2024

Another thing to remember is fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is more important than the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Gifts of the Holy Spirit without the fruit of the Holy Spirit is a counterfeit.

From Genesis 1:2 to Revelation 22:17, the Bible records constant references to the Holy Spirit—His person and His work. Like the Father and the Son, He has all the attributes of the Godhead and is especially active in the world scene. Though He is the “Sent One” by both Christ and the Father, He ...read more

Expecting Miracles

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 8, 2023

We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more

The Jesus Message For The Guilty Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 20, 2023

This is the Jesus Message to the Guilty. If you’ve ever felt guilty - you’ve asked that same question. The Bible is full of examples of men and women who disregarded God in order to follow their own willful ways. They were captive to feelings of guilt and remorse.

The Jesus Message for the Guilty      Acts 2 Introduction The Day of Pentecost is one of the most important events in Bible. -It is the birthday of the church. -It is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. - It presents the promise and hope for an ongoing presence of God in the life ...read more

Pentecost

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 28, 2023

In 1967, she prayed this prayer, “Father, I give my life to You. Whatever you ask of me, I accept. Just teach me to follow Jesus and to love as He loves.” The fire quickly spread, even to other Christian denominations.

On Tesco's brand of Tiramisu dessert, printed on the bottom of the box, it says, “DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.”1—(too late!) I want to consider how the Holy Spirit has a way of turning things upside down. Like in the Acts of the Apostles in our First Reading, the devout Jews from every nation ...read more

Persecuted: Why? Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 1, 2023

The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more
