     | 853 views

    Using Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:7, we learn that humanity is uniquely created in God's image, giving us purpose, spirituality, and the capacity for relationships and love. Our true identity and fulfillment come from embracing our God-given purpose and recognizing God's love for us.

    Holy Spirit - The Doctrine And The Ministry

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 5, 2024

     | 916 views

    Another thing to remember is fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is more important than the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Gifts of the Holy Spirit without the fruit of the Holy Spirit is a counterfeit.

    From Genesis 1:2 to Revelation 22:17, the Bible records constant references to the Holy Spirit—His person and His work. Like the Father and the Son, He has all the attributes of the Godhead and is especially active in the world scene. Though He is the “Sent One” by both Christ and the Father, He ...read more

    You Can't Take It With You, But . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 20, 2025
     | 562 views

    How many of us follow the rich fool's lead and build bigger barns by finding new avenues for our investments, as though this life is all that matters? Jesus tells us to beware of all kinds of greed, including being greedy with our own possessions.

    There are some Bible passages which will forever be associated with vivid personal experiences. And today, as we consider the Parable of the Rich Fool, we have encountered one of those passages. My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more
