     | 12,083 views

    THE POWER OF PENTECOST Last week we looked at THE PURPOSE OF PENTECOST and we found that it is much more than exciting music and a motivational message. Pentecost will certainly: • Bring to us more of God’s power to live our daily lives, • Take us to a higher place of worship, • Cause us to ...read more

    This message deals with the decision Christians often make to avoid prayer because they don’t want to talk to God about that particular sin.

    Sometimes as Christians we let things that shouldn’t be in our life linger in our hearts because we’re embarrassed at the thought of talking to God about that problem. We’d rather just not talk to God at all than have to talk about that particular issue. Let’s be honest: one of the ...read more
