    On one extreme you have those who fervently practice what we call Pentecostalism and on the opposite extreme those who embrace only God’s Word as their model for thought and practice.

    THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more

    This is what this passage tells us.  Spiritual growth was not only a priority in the life of Jesus, it was everything.  Jesus taught us how to live a balanced life.

    Preparing For Revival Series

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Oct 15, 2019
     | 7,656 views

    It is important if we, as the church, ever plan or desire to see revival break forth in our church, that we make preparation prior to a series of meetings. Revival should always begin before a scheduled series of meetings and continue long after. (Compiled using resources from Sermon Central)

    Preparing for Revival Joel 2:12 – 18 I always love reading “Top Ten” lists or seeing shows that present a “Top Ten” list of either funny videos, silly decisions or actions of people, so on so forth.
