The Holy Spirit Is Not A Side Show Act

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 28, 2019

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

The Holy Spirit is Not A Side Show Act When I was a new Christian I latched on to anything that had Christian in it. I had every part of Jesus Christ Superstar memorized. Then I found out it was written by a Jew and an atheist and was not meant to be a ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (6 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

At the beginning of the third chapter of Acts, the story of the glorious healing of the man who had been lame from birth is recorded.

This man was a picture of the sinner, who is born spiritually lame. God did an undeniable work in his life, but the ungodly, though religious, would not accept it. It is still the same today. God does great things, and still ungodly men will not accept what He does, and can do, for mankind. ...read more

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 12, 2021

Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more

Dirty Backyard

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 28, 2021

There is little hope of revival or a large harvest of souls until we clean up our own backyard.

I believe there are too many dictators among the cessationists and too many false prophets and con artists in the Charismatic movement because people do not read the Word in context. Their hermeneutic is experience, not sound doctrine. In the Cessationist groups if you question a pastor you get ...read more

Holy Spirit Baptism Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 7, 2021

This sermon examines Holy Spirit baptism from a Baptist's perspective, asking, "Is it really a second work of grace?" and "Must it be evidenced by speaking in tongues?" Also, "Is being filled with the Spirit the same thing?"

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

The Foolishness Of The Message Of The Cross

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 23, 2021

Was Paul saying that the message of the cross was foolish? Paul was a Jew brought up in a Roman town and was greatly influenced by Greek culture. When he preached Christ, Paul found that each of these cultures had its own particular challenges when the gospel was concerned.

1 Corinthians 1:21-25 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a ...read more

God abundantly pours out His grace whenever His people run boldly to His throne and cry out for help. This message looks at four ways that grace worked in the lives of the apostles and believers in the New Testament church.

If I am tempted and afflicted with many tribulations, I will fear no evils while Your grace is with me.
