    The point is will you respond to the Holy Spirit? Will you seek this baptism of power? If I offered you a million dollars, you’d take it. So, why not take this promise of spiritual power?

    if you believe in the resurrection and its power for our lives then you have to be open to the fact that fundamental change can happen in people’s lives. But “How?” As followers of Christ, we’re called to be people who center themselves on the resurrectio

    Baptized Romans 6:1-7, 11-14; John 3:1-8 Do you believe people can change? Do you believe that people can become fundamentally different people? If we’re honest, the majority of us are practicing cynics.

    The "holy kiss" was a common way to show love and acceptance in the early church. What was that "kiss" intended to accomplish for God and how can we (who often don’t do that) accomplish the same goals?

    OPEN: For the next 4 weeks, we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about kissing (pause). You know, the Bible is just FULL of kissing. There are stories where sons kiss their fathers. Friends kissing friends/ brothers kissing brothers. People kissing false idols. Kissing between a woman ...read more

     | 327 views

    If we want to live holy, it must also come through connection with God. This involves upping the game on our Bible study and prayer.

    In order for a person to be holy, he or she must be connected to the Source of holiness—God Himself. Such a relationship begins at the moment of salvation. When a sinner repents of his sins, and places his faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ as the lamb of God which takes away the sin of the ...read more

    Both Peter and Paul raise the same question: what should we be doing when … not ‘if’ but ‘when’ … the Lord appears? How do you want Him to find you? Vigilant? Full of hope and expectation? Prepared? Ready to greet Him? Or scoffing? Asleep?

    Christians are responsible for developing God’s reputation in the world. The failure to do this well always leads to action from God.
