    Why would God put His Spirit inside us a sealof our salvation? He could have used anything ot "mark" us as His. Why do it this way?

His little face scrunched and said, "How does the baby get out of there?" She wanted to keep it simple so she said, "The doctor will ...read more

    Exactly what thirst does the Spirit satisfy?

    On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

    This message is part of a series Entitled "Walking in the Spirit." Though Christians believe in the Holy Spirit, many do not understand how to walk daily in the Spirit nor the blessings God grants to those who do.

    ROMANS 8:5-11 LIFE IN THE SPIRIT Our text reveals that there are only two ways to live life. Paul draws several contrasts between existence ruled by the flesh and the new life of the Spirit. To walk in the Spirit is to be "in step" with the Spirit. Life in the Spirit ...read more
