    Walking In The Spirit Series

     | 3,779 views

    Believers are commanded to walk in the Spirit, but what does that mean? This message explores how the human spirit is to operate in relationship to the believer's soul. With instruction from Galatians 5 the difference between walking in the Spirit versus the flesh is examined.

    Intro We are investigating the function or operation of the human spirit in relationship to God and the person’s soul. In Proverbs 20:27 we are told: “The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.” i What is this saying about the human spirit? It is the ...read more

    The Spirit As Wind Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 25, 2024
     | 1,214 views

    Jesus said that the Spirit is like wind - it is invisible and unpredictable. Wind has the power to transform, energize, and destroy, and so does the Spirit. The Spirit provides the power we need to be who we are called to be and do what we are called to do.

    A. Let’s start today’s sermon with an illustration comparing two amazing women. 1. Katie Spotz and Laura Dekker have a lot in common – they are both endurance athletes and they both have boats. 2. Both ladies made headlines when they completed solo trips – Katie across the Atlantic and Laura around ...read more

    Joel promises restoration through his Son and the sending of his Spirit. God promises to renew people who repent and turn to him.

    For all the talk about forging our own brave, new world, the evidence seems to the contrary. People are despondent and the world seems a mess. Every day the ideological battles play out in the public square are they are prising apart public opinion and fragmenting society. Climate change—gender ...read more

    The Spirit As Intercessor Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 8, 2024
     | 921 views

    One of the greatest benefits of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Christians is the way the Spirit is our intercessor who prays on our behalf when we don't know how to pray or what to pray for.

    A. Four years ago, the world experienced a crisis that few of us had experienced in our lifetime – a microscopic virus shut down life as we had known it. 1. The Covid 19 pandemic crippled the economy, incited global anxiety, and took the lives of multitudes of people. 2. It created a tsunami of ...read more

    Water and Spirit – Luke 3: 15 - 22 Intro: As a pastor, there are many questions you are asked. Some of them are harder to answer than others. One I have frequently heard is “What would your congregation think? Life seems to be full or question. This morning, I ...read more

    The Nicene Creed says, in reference to the Spirit, “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son." The early church recognized the truth that the Holy Spirit is One who gives life.

    Both Rich Mullins and Third Day sang a song entitled “Creed,” that began like this: “I believe in God the Father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth; and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son our Lord.” This song was based on one of the early Church creeds, called the Nicene Creed.(1) In ...read more

    We are sometimes asked how to know when we have been filled with the Holy Spirit. These are my thoughts.

    Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree. I am not a farmer or a gardener, but in 1990 we moved into a rented house we were told had five different fruit trees in the backyard.  When I heard that I thought, “wow that’ll be cool.” The day we arrived, one of ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is recorded from the very beginning of Genesis and is a hovering force that brings supernatural power to you and to everything you touch. Today I'm going to talk about ten benefits of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

    Today I'm going to talk about ten benefits of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. When you speak of the Holy Spirit as a topic, most people turn to the Book of Acts, because they think that's where it began. Actually, the Holy Spirit shows up in Genesis 1:1, and He shows up in ...read more

    Walk In The Spirit Series

     | 6,558 views

    We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

    We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more

    Filled With The Spirit

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 11, 2023
     | 1,219 views

    The filling of the Holy Spirit was done according to Acts 1:8. The message will help identify the filling and work that the Holy Spirit does in the believers life.

    What does this mean? Be filled with the Spirit. This is a doctrine that is usually looked upon in two different extremes. Some refuse to consider the indwelling of God's Spirit while others go to the other extreme and base their entire belief around it. Paul is talking about Spirit filled, New ...read more

    What are these “spirits in prison”? Many people reading the word “spirits” in this passage translate it in their minds to dead people who supposedly live now (as spirits) in a prison.

    1 Peter 3:19 : The spirits in prison Some time ago, I got a question from a friend of mine concerning the passage of I Peter 3:19. Let’s read this passage together with verses 18 and 20: I Peter 3:18-20 “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us ...read more
