    Pentecost foreshadows the truth that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor for a harvest of people.

    Pentecost or Weeks (Shavuot) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. Many Christians are surprised to find out that Pentecost is a Jewish Old Testament holiday. 2. A Jewish man was confronting a Christian man: “You know, you people borrowed the 10 Commandments from us.” 3. “Well,” responded the Christian, “we ...read more

    Investing Our Talents Series

     | 5,614 views

    Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “Investing Our Talents,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Talents.” In reference to this passage, Donald S. Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more

    Pentecost foreshadows that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor in His harvest field.

    Shavuot: The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. A Christian man and a Jewish man were debating which faith was best. The Jewish man argued, “We gave you the 10 Commandments.” The Christian responded, “Yes, but you can’t say we’ve kept them!” Many Christians are surprised to ...read more

    In this final message of the Rooted series, we are called to surrender to God’s pruning, examine the fruit of our lives, and live Spirit-led, obedient lives that bear lasting fruit—becoming faithful laborers in a world ripe for the harvest.

    The word “philosophy” means a love of wisdom. Paul said, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Col 2:8). There must be two kinds of philosophers.
