    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. Most of us are familiar with Matthew 28:19-20, in which Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ...read more

    I recall a few weeks back I was trying to get into the mindset of Christmas, so I was watching old Christmas cartoons from the mid 1900s. A fair amount of it was oddly poisonous to my spirit. It was not edifying or encouraging to my inner man. It was a lot of self focused desire for stuff, a lot ...read more

    Jesus tells Nicodemus the most essential teaching in the Bible. That essential teaching is the new birth in Christ. There will be a lot of things demanding your attention, but this, being born again, you cannot afford to neglect.

    When John Wesley began a series of evangelistic meetings, he preached from John Chapter 3, You Must be Born Again. As the meetings went on people realized he was preaching that same message over and over. Someone asked him, when are you going to move on to something different? His answer, as soon ...read more

    Children Of The Devil

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,950 views

    Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

    Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

    The Holy Ghost is God’s gift for each and everyone. It is Grace which is God’s unmerited favor given. We don’t deserve it, but He freely gives to each of us. God does not have respecter of person, so it isn’t just given to the good or super spiritual. It is for everyone.

    “7 Things the Holy Ghost does for Us” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I came up in church during the time when we had tarry service. Tarry service in case you don’t know was usually on Monday or Tuesday night. Tarry service was a time that those of us who wanted the Holy Ghost would ...read more

    Millions of people consider themselves to be Christian. Many believe they have converted to Christianity, but is that the case? Just because some may call themselves Christian and have their names written on a church membership list, does that guarantee that they are converted Christians?

    The Truth about Conversion India has six major religions – Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Sikhism, where Hindus form 80% of the population and others are minorities. There are also States in India with majority populations of other religions like in J&K, where we have a ...read more
