Not only does self-control mean saying no to yourself, it also means doing what has to be done.

Tomorrow is Labour day. Interesting isn’t it that Labour Day is a celebration of work yet we get the day off. Wouldn’t it make more sense for us to go work for free to celebrate the fact that we get to work? Anyway I’m not going to talk about Labour Day today, we’ll touch on work more next week, ...read more

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

They Were A Spirit-Filled Church Series

Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013

We have before us today a picture of the model church. You’ve heard me say; “if our church could be any kind of church our church wanted to be what kind of church would our church be?” The answer is found here in Acts 2:42-47.

They Were a Spirit Filled Church Acts 2:42-47 We began our study in Acts 1-2 with the idea that God was able to do so much in and through the first church because of their belief. They believed in all that Jesus ever began to and teach, they believed in the resurrection, they believed in the ...read more

Revelation Through The Holy Spirit

Flesh And Spirit And Cleverness For The Gospel

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013

We must listen to the Spirit of God rather than our weak minds and wills so that we can bear the fruits of the Spirit and with cleverness spread God's kingdom.
