Common Ways To Lead An Uncommon Life Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023

Holy Spirit Baptism Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 7, 2021

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013

The fact is, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that God has quit working with power through His people – and I have come to the conclusion that the fault does not lie with God, but with those of us who claim to follow Him.

The book of Acts found in your Bibles records for us the history of the early church and how God used ordinary people to build His kingdom. While we call it the “Acts of the Apostles” it would be more accurate to call it the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” as it was the Holy Spirit moving through, in, ...read more
