Then she asked every wife to take out their ...read more

Holy Spirit Baptism Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 7, 2021

This sermon examines Holy Spirit baptism from a Baptist's perspective, asking, "Is it really a second work of grace?" and "Must it be evidenced by speaking in tongues?" Also, "Is being filled with the Spirit the same thing?"

The very first time I encountered this term was when I was in college and I attended an Assemblies of ...read more

Christmas Significa Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021

The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

The key to not coveting what others have is to be content with what you already have.
