    Having the Holy Spirit is one thing but is useless to us if we don't use Him. He is there to guide us and protect us but He is also there to lead us to a closer relationship with Christ,

    “Using The Holy Spirit” The past few weeks I have been speaking on the importance of the Holy Spirit and how He is essential to our salvation but that is only half of it. So this morning, as the late Paul ...read more

    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

    Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more
