We Are Not Alone - Comforter Is With Us!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 6, 2022

Jesus bodily presence was limited, the Holy Spirit would be unlimited. The Holy Spirit would be in every place, teaching them, reaching them with insight and clarity. The presence of the Holy Spirit would be as valuable to the disciples as the bodily presence of Jesus had been.

Sermon – The Comforting Work of the Holy Spirit Joh 16:5-15 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. 6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you.

Sermon On Grief

Contributed by William Meakin on Nov 21, 2023

Grief is defined as intense sorrow, especially caused by someone’s death.

Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, once remarked: “Grief is the price we pay for love.” These meaningful words were adapted from a passage written by Dr. Colin Murray Parkes, a psychiatrist based at St. Christopher’s Hospice in Orpington, London.

How To Become A True Worshipper

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 3, 2023

Worship is an instinct within every human being because it is God-created and has been divinely implanted within us. He has provided an outlet for our need to worship.

"The hour cometh," Jesus said, "when the true worshippers SHALL worship." All other things of importance will be set aside for worship. Mere rituals will give way to meaningful worship. This promise follows the earlier pledge that "... the water that I shall give him shall ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 12, 2023

Session 1: This introduction to "spiritual gifts" discusses the promise of the Holy Spirit, how and when we receive the Spirit, the meaning of being filled with the Spirit, and the reason why spiritual gifts are given to believers.

Tonight, we will begin our study on spiritual gifts.

The Spirit-Filled Life (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Jan 13, 2024

Does the Holy Spirit still speak? Absolutely. He speaks to us through his whispers, his witnesses, and his Word. And he may speak to you in other ways too, if you’re listening. “The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them” (Romans 8:14).

The Spirit-filled Life (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/28/2017 If you’re like me, you may have grown up in a church that rarely if ever talked about the Holy Spirit.

Revivalist-In-Training

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 4, 2023

What Jesus did in the gospels should be seen in the Church today, but it's not. A revivalist is a person who restores what is unused. But it starts with recognizing where we are in our walk with Jesus.

Good evening. My name is Barry, and I am a revivalist-in-training. Now, let me explain what I mean. Webster’s dictionary gives two basic meanings for the word revival and the one that, in my view, reflects what I believe the Bible teaches is “restoration of force, validity, or effect (as to a ...read more

What Does The Holy Spirit Do?

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jul 16, 2023

Ever wonder exactly what the Holy Spirit does? He has way more tasks than we have ever imagine!

Who is the Holy Spirit? I think back to my days in Sunday School learning about the Trinity. For me, it was easier to understand the Father and Christ, his Son. They were easy to imagine. Afterall, how many pictures from the Renaissance depicted them. Just look at the Sistine Chapple. But ...read more

Living In Safety

Psalm 91 cannot protect you. Living in God and God in you is your safe place. Your protection is to abide in Christ constantly. Abide in His presence. Forever remain in the secret place.

The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2023

"He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more
