Can God Shake This Place?

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 30, 2024

Jailhouse Rock Series

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Jan 8, 2009

The film earned 10 Academy Award nominations, and the image of the possessed girl with her head turned backwards on her body has undoubtedly ...read more

Water Baptism

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 18, 2024

But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not a substitute for Water Baptism. Neither is Water Baptism a substitute for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They are two separate but complementary provisions of God for every person who comes to faith in Jesus Christ.

“Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) We learn ...read more

Silas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 31, 2021

Not everyone liked what Paul and Silas were doing, so they imprisoned them. Despite all the intricate and demanding things they experienced, they never complained. On the contrary, songs of praise were heard from the darkest dungeon where they were being held.

Silas Paul settled in Antioch, where he continued to work with the people to live a happy life by the gospel. However, Paul felt that the Holy Spirit was working in the Church, so that it was time to go out and spread the gospel of Jesus. So he went out to be a missionary, and on one of his ...read more
