    We are baptized for action. We are baptized to go out into the world and be the hands, voice and presence of Christ. We are baptized for the sake of others and for the sake of the world.

    If the reading we heard from Mark’s Gospel a few minutes ago sounds familiar, it’s because we heard part of the same reading a few weeks ago on the Second Sunday of Advent. On that Sunday, we heard John the Baptist talk about the coming of Jesus and the baptism that he would provide-the ...read more

    An introductory message on who the Holy Spirit is

    Who Is the Holy Spirit John 14:15-20, 25-26 When you think about it, we as Christians understand and relate more to God the Father and Jesus the Son than we do the Holy Spirit?

    Why should someone seek to be filled with the HS? What difference does it really make in a person’s life? Are we supposed to seek something more than forgiveness? Is there more that God wants to do in our lives and through us? Let's look at God's word.

    Spirit-Filled Eastern Oregonians -We focused on the baptism in the Holy Spirit last week, but what difference does it make? Why should someone seek to be filled with the HS?

    Here are some practical suggestions for becoming a saint.

    What does it mean to be a saint? And why are we celebrating each year the Solemnity of All Saints? One simple reason–God wants us to be happy. God wants us, therefore, to be saints ourselves. Holy on earth; holy in heaven. To be saints, to be holy, we need to live and die in charity, ...read more

    Christians need to interact with the world to reach the world with the gospel. They need to be good citizens of a generally hostile system without compromising their faith.

    TITUS 3: 1-7 RENEWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT [Romans 13:1-7] Christians have been changed and are different than we once were, yet we still need to be reminded of who we are and what has been done to us and how it was done.

    This study examines the Scriptural identity of the Gift of the Holy Spirit and, also, how to receive the Gift and why we receive this precious Gift.

    When one obeys the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they receive the Holy Spirit. Paul asked the Galatian brethren (3:2): "This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit from the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" The Spirit was not received through their observing ...read more

    Serving the Lord is a privilege as we bring light to a dark world, but demoralizing as we are beaten down. Despite the challenges of being light in a dark world, we should not lose heart.

    A Broken or Flexing Spirit? (2 Corinthians 4:1-6) 1.
