    Many Christians are not experiencing Pentecost for a number of reasons, but perhaps the greatest reason is because they are unaware of how rich and powerful it would make their lives.

    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

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 39 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,924 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. In Genesis 39 there is one phrase that seem to be the common theme of this chapter. It is found in verses 2,3,21, and 23. ...read more
