    A message about why the Spirit gave those first Christians the ability to speak in other languages.

    Ezekiel prophesies to the mountains and uses some strong language to describe the false gods and idolatry of God

    In all their colors, shapes, sizes, languages, and ages, human beings are amazing - and related to one another!

    I am a people watcher. The way people interact with each other, how they show various emotions, and appropriate the uniqueness of cultural differences, have intrigued me for as long as I can remember. All human beings have more in common with each other than they think. When the Triune God said, ...read more

    The names of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob show up together in Scripture 33 times. So, the question is: WHY do their names show up together those 33 times? What was it about these 3 men that God wanted us to see? Why are they held up for us as FATHER FIGURES?

     | 5,085 views

    If I recognize that my ability to think, to speak, and to share those thoughts comes from God, then I should be very careful of how I use it, don’t you think? How many of you use the gift that God gave you to think about the gift that God gave you … the gift of thought.

    “In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep. While a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light … and God saw that the light was good” (Genesis ...read more

     | 6,814 views

    The Tower of Babel was a man centered plan. God supernaturally confused the languages and scattered the people. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. Pentecost was the Tower of Babel in reverse! The Holy Spirit comes to reach those separated from God by sin.
