The Filling Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

Being controlled by the Spirit is not a dramatic or decisive one-time experience but it’s a daily, ongoing habit. There’s a kind of fullness of the Spirit that comes just simply obeying God and using the means of grace: Bible study, and prayer, and fellowship, obeying his will, etc.

Today, I want to answer this question, “How can I tell if the Holy Spirit is controlling me?” We are not alone in asking this question as the renowned theologian Jonathan Edwards addressed the questions in his work, Religious Affections. In the book, Edwards moves through twelve “uncertain signs” ...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

In order to be holy in this world, the first step is having a true heart for repentance.

I have been inspired to speak for a few weeks about Being Holy, and how we can achieve it in this New Year. Holiness is not optional for a Christian. In the ...read more

The Power Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2025

Why did Jesus believe the early church needed the power of the Holy Spirit - and what can that power mean to us today?

A few years ago, the power went out on the north side of town. I first noticed it when I saw that the traffic lights weren’t working but I didn’t think much about it until I tried to stop into CVS to pick up some batteries. One of the clerks met me at the door and explained: “I’m sorry we have no ...read more

Being Holy: Connected Series

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jan 16, 2025

If we want to live holy, it must also come through connection with God. This involves upping the game on our Bible study and prayer.

In order for a person to be holy, he or she must be connected to the Source of holiness—God Himself. Such a relationship begins at the moment of salvation. When a sinner repents of his sins, and places his faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ as the lamb of God which takes away the sin of the ...read more

Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025

Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

Being Holy: Separated Series

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 1, 2025

If we are to realize our full potential in being holy, we must realize that we are separated as special to God. Once we realize that, then we can move toward being separated from the common.

When I was a kid, I had lots of toys. I had little green plastic army men, a plastic fort that I could put together, Little People, GI Joes, and others. These were pretty common, ordinary toys to me that were stuffed in a toy box with comics and cards. But my special, favorite toys, I kept in a ...read more
