    In a world where alcohol is so prevalent at parties and social gatherings, how should we as Christians react? Is it okay to have a drink every now and then?

    If we want to be used of God to effectively advance the cause of Christ, we must be careful not to overestimate or underestimate ourselves, but use the Spirit’s gift(s) to serve with all our hearts.

    Just a few years ago, Dave Barry, a columnist for the Washington Post, posted his comments about the typical male in the first week of December. He wrote, “Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable ...read more

    This is a revamp of a 1996 sermon I did. What does Jesus really mean when He tells us not to judge people? What do we need to do to obey it?

    INTRODUCTION • Can you tell me the one verse in the bible everyone seems to have memorized? • How many times have we just taken a look at another person and made a judgment about them. We take one look at them and we think that we know everything about them? • What about the times when we find ...read more

    The Average Christian And The Average Church are Somewhere Bogged Down Between Calvary and Pentecost. They have been to Calvary for Pardon, but they Have Not Been to Pentecost For Power. Bethlehem means God With Us. Calvary means God For Us. But Pentecost means God In Us.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video on “Holy Spirit.” The word “Pentecost” designates the 50th day after Passover, which was a Feast Day. Also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Harvest. It was a time when Israel celebrated Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God. It was on this day, ...read more

     | 8,427 views

    Is it really hard to let ourselves soak in the presence of the Lord? Or are we just blinded by unnecessary things we put first in our lives? And what does being filled with Holy Ghost means?

    In accordance with what the Bible said, we Christians are called not to be drunk with the sinful wine but to be filled with the Holy Ghost. We are very fond of idolizing and praising actors and politicians. We’re giving them our full support because they give us worldly entertainment, but when it ...read more

    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.
