The Wonder Of Jesus’ Baptism Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 3, 2013

Why did John baptize Jesus? And why so quickly? Granted Jesus said it was to "fulfill all righteousness", but what exactly could that mean?

The Holy Sprit Part 2 Series

Contributed by Don Jones on Sep 6, 2006

The message takes a look at the work of Holy Spirit in relation to John 14:6 where Jesus describes himself as, the Way, Truth, and Life

The Spirit is given so we might live and act as Jesus. One of my favorite passages is John 14:6 where Jesus describes himself in His own words. Yes, Christianity is narrow and exclusive in the path to heaven but notice the three descriptors, the way, truth, and life. Jesus answered, “I am the ...read more

Some say that weren’t saved until they got the Holy Ghost… (meaning Holy Ghost baptism and salvation are together as one work) Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, ...read more
