     | 6,306 views

    . We want to be a Spirit-filled church. Since this church, like every church, is made up of people, the only way that we can be a Spirit-filled church is if we have Spirit-filled people. But what exactly does that mean?

    January 18, 2004 Ephesians 5:18 ¡§The Spirit-filled Christian¡¨ INTRODUCTION Let¡¦s try a little experiment.

     | 9,394 views

    My dorm mate used to say, "Are you living, or are you dying?" His saying brings up a point. What is living? As Paul sits in a dark, dank, depressing prison cell, he gives us and the Philippians an answer.

    Are you living, or are you dying? One of my dormmates, Josh, would tell me that all the time. He would say that to encourage me to get out of my room, to stop studying, and to go have some fun, which, in his definition, would be living. Then what is dying? Well, that is what I was doing, and ...read more

    Sons Or Slaves? (Trinity Sunday 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 23, 2024
     | 955 views

    Did you notice what Paul did in this text? Paul speaks about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as he reminds that if we are God’s children, then we are also heirs---joint heirs because we are adopted sons and daughters of God through what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    SONS OR SLAVES? Text: Romans 8:14 – 17 Rom 8:12-17 So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— (13) for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,815 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more
