The Road To Transformation

Contributed by Je Layugan on Jan 11, 2021

Some of you may have a rough beginning in life, but Jesus has been in a constant look out to catch you, to encounter him, on whatever road you are travelling on. Just like Paul, a single encounter with him can transform you inside out.

When Jesus Christ died, Christians were scattered and some went to Damascus. When Saul heard about it, he wanted to hunt them, arrest them, and bring them back to Jerusalem. But with one encounter with Jesus in the road to Damascus, Saul of Tarsus, transformed from being a hater of Christians, ...read more

Disciples Of Jesus Are Empowered By The Holy Spirit Series

All Prepared

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021

Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

The Indwelling Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul says, "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ." We must possess the Spirit to be possessed by Christ. He must be ours if we are His. Mutual possessing and mutual indwelling is what salvation is all about.

Indwelling has a variety of meanings. It can mean that matter indwells matter as a kernel or fruit within a shell. A yoke indwells the white and both dwell within the shell. It can refer to a situation where one substance is intermixed with another, as with salt and water, or medicine within your ...read more
