They Believed In Spirit-Filled Preaching.

Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013

I think it’s interesting that not until Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit that he began to preach. No preacher, should ever seek to preach without having been filled with the Holy Spirit.

“They Believed in Spirit-Filled Preaching” Acts 2:14-41 In the last message from Acts we saw that the Apostles and first church believed in the Holy Spirit. They had waited for what the Father had promised, the indwelling and infilling of the Holy Spirit. There was no way they could ...read more

A BETTER PLACE THAN HEAVEN 1 Jn. 2:28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Tom and Matt were best of friends, they played football once a week for 50 years. 2. When they were getting older, they had an argument about whether people play football in heaven. So they agreed that whoever died first would let ...read more

Jesus - Miracle Worker Series

Works Of ’the Holy Spirit’ Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 15, 2011

Jesus, The Teacher Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 17, 2011

When Jesus taught, he did so in parables. Now this was not unique in Jesus’ day for most rabbis or teachers taught in parables. The Greek word for parable means “thrown along something else.” Parables are about comparisons.
