    Holy Spirit - The Doctrine And The Ministry

    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

    (Humor) We have been told recently a "Husband Shopping Center" was opened in Dallas, Texas where women could come go shopping for a husband on display.

    It was laid out with five floors with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. THERE WAS TWO RULES: 1) Once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor. 2) Also, if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave and ...read more

    Friends, gather your hearts and breathe in this grace-soaked moment. Jesus tells a story that sounds like the evening wind moving through vines—soft at first, then strong enough to stir us awake. It’s a story about ownership and oversight, about the Owner’s kindness and the tenants’ choices. It’s ...read more

    The sermon urges us to break from constant noise and distraction, embracing stillness to encounter God’s presence and discover what truly matters in life.

    Friends, our world is loud. The headlines shout, the inbox swells, the calendar crowds, and our thumbs have learned a liturgy—scroll, swipe, repeat. Have you felt it?

You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days.

    God has a purpose in us not knowing the future. God the Father wants us to daily spend time in prayer talking to Him, but if we knew everything, we would not need to seek Him daily for guidance. But many during this NEW YEAR would like to know what this New Year is going to hold for them. ...read more

    If you’ve ever watched a seasoned craftsman at work—hands steady, eyes kind, voice calm—you know the comfort of a good example. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t grandstand. He lets you stand nearby, sleeves rolled up, and learn the rhythm of the work. That’s how Paul speaks to Timothy in this passage. ...read more
