    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,595 views

    The book of Acts was written to show what God can do with ordinary people who are filled with the Holy Spirit.

    Fly High – Acts part 4 On the lighter side of life: The Secret Service is preparing to issue a cease-and-desist order to stop a Christian ministry’s use of a gospel tract designed as a "million-dollar bill," after someone tried to deposit one of them into a bank account, reports WorldNetDaily. ...read more

    What is the Holy Spirit’s work? What does He do in the world today? What is the Work of the Holy Spirit?

    Opposition confronted Paul everywhere, but when they left, they left a Spirit-filled, Christ-filled congregation.

    Saturday of the Third Week of Easter 2024 Our readings this Paschal season from the Acts of the Apostles seem continuous, but there are many verses edited out for length. This week we have read about Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey into the area known as Asia Minor, and you may ...read more

    God Pours Out His Spirit

    On Pentecost, God reversed the process of division and confusion around the tower of Babel, as he poured out his Spirit. The Spirit gave the disciples words of praise and proclamation to speak in languages that all could understand. How does that Spirit work today in our lives and churches?

    [Sermon preached on Pentecost (Whit Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday in our Bible study group, we studied the story about the first Christian Pentecost from Acts 2. It was a refreshing experience to hear someone read some verses in Chinese. Most of us could not understand them, ...read more

    based on 75 ratings
     | 21,636 views

    This is a basic overview of the doctrine of the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit within the Christian. We examine when, how, and why the Spirit dwells in the child of God.

    When one obeys the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they receive the Holy Spirit. Paul asked the Galatian brethren (3:2): "This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit from the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" The Spirit was not received through their ...read more

    In a world that more and more turns from God, we must be more and more dedicated to the cause of Christ...but how can we survive the journey to heaven? What does it take for us to be survivors?

    Abraham’s Faithful Work! Series

    Contributed by John Wright on Feb 1, 2010
     | 4,734 views

    James teaches that Abraham's faith that Paul taught about in Romans chapter four is the same faith that the Holy Spirit inspired him to write about and both he and Paul teach that biblical faith is a working faith.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bible to James 2:21-24. 2. In the earlier lessons from this chapter James has declared and illustrated over and over the truth that a Christian is saved, “not by just faith, but rather by faith and works”. 3. In the last six verse of the second chapter of ...read more

    Jesus’ parable helps parents distinguish between the needs and the wants of their children, and teaches us how to invest attention in them.

    Several years ago a mother wrote to “Dear Abby”: “Dear Abby, My son is in jail for running his mouth at a cop. They’ve given him one phone call a day, and he’s calling home to ask us to bring him things. His dad has gone over there with whatever he has wanted: two Big Macs on Monday, a pizza on ...read more

    Jesus asked the question to the Scribes and Pharisees who were going through life filling squares and never having the heart right with Him.

    Today we are starting a new sermon series entitled: The Questions Jesus Asked. Jesus had a way of asking questions to which He fully knew the answers. The question Jesus asked where for our benefit, not his. Jesus being divine, He is all knowing, so in a sense, His questions are rhetorical. God ...read more

    What was it that transformed a semi-defeated Bible study group meeting in an upper room in Jerusalem into this highly energized, Holy Spirit empowered, life-giving local church? The inundation of 3000 new converts on Pentecost Day.

    Building Bigger Hearts for Lost People I would like to start with a multiple-choice question: Which of these would most likely transform the average sleepy, tradition-bound local church into a dynamic, fired-up, community of faith? Which of the following events? A) Burning the hymnbooks, and ...read more
