    This is a Reformation sermon, reflecting on Martin Luther’s contribution to history & renewal of the gospel. The message also reflects the similarity that Jesus had with the Pharisees who believed you could earn God’s love by keeping the commandments.

    Praise Is Comely

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 19,254 views

    The King James Version word "comely" helps us see that praise and worship fit the reality of today’s world, but are attractive to those who need perspective by which to live.

    Our members will know that I seldom use the King James Version of the Scriptures, except on certain occasions when the majesty and beauty of its language are desirable. We are a church which is generally committed to contemporary readings of the Bible because they are more accurate and are easier ...read more

    The Holy Spirit isn't just an "add on" to our lives, He is a necessity. He transforms believers to "Christians" - little anointed ones! Just as we spend time occupied in relationships with others, work, or tasks, we need even more to be "occupied" by Him.

    The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them ...read more
