Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 22, 2018

Some people miss the ultimate experience, in fact, any experience of God whatsoever--even those who claim to be born-again Christians. Why? It comes down to one little word that is pivotal, according to Jesus, in our experience of God.

Have you ever experienced God? Sometimes it's an unsettling question, isn't it? As born again Christians, we often bristle when people accuse us of being religious. At least I do. When they say something like that, I'm quick to explain to them that I don't think of myself so much as having a ...read more

Empowered: The Truth About The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Matthew Lester on Mar 1, 2017

As a whole, we as Pentecostals believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a way to bring us closer to God, but what does the Bible tell us?

(Read Acts 1:3-8) Jesus says that the power of the Holy Spirit would come upon them. We all know that, and we all know that he tells them to witness to the world. But when do we associate the two together? Many of us can quote, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you ...read more

(about 3000 souls) That story in Acts has inspired many churches, evangelists, missionaries and 1000s of others to attempt to reach as many as they can to bring more and more people to Christ. One such church was one from New Jersey ...read more
