However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

    When the Holy Spirit empowers a person to speak in his or her language—which we will hear in our mother tongue—the language they speak in is not their language but the tongue of Heaven.

    What an incredible and ecstatic experience for the twelve Apostles, the Mother of Jesus, Jesus’ brothers, and other women to experience the gifting of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.
