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

Someone asked: “What’s all the fuss? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There are so many different theories. Everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing.

Depending on what you’ve heard, it certainly can be confusing. However, it should give us great comfort to know that God has a plan for our world, and it is all coming together according to His Divine purpose. Almighty God, who knows the end from the beginning, will make sure that everything turns ...read more

Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 11, 2025

Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.

Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more
