    A lot of times the Holy Spirit gets the least amount of respect out of all the Trinity even though it is his part that’s at the forefront of our Christian walks today let me explain God the father started it, God the Son finished it, and God the Holy Spirit sealed it.

    The Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-13) was one of the most phenomenal and important events in all of history, for it was the day of “the coming of the Holy Spirit.” Jesus had deliberately prepared the disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

    In Romans 8:5 Paul is focusing on the two ways Christians can choose to live. They can “live according to the sinful nature” or they can choose to “live in accordance with the Spirit.” What determines whether I will walk in the flesh or in the Spirit?

    Romans 8:5 3/1/15 Last week we discussed the first four verses in Romans 8. In Romans 8:1 we read the astounding statement that Paul makes about anyone who is “in Christ.” This statement can only be made concerning those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior. But it does apply to all those ...read more

    This sermon is about our will versus God’s will for us. This sermon goes in depth about today’s society and their will.

    Is It Truly Your Will? The type of will we’re talking about here is one of individual desire. A will can range from good to bad or from worldly to Godly.

    Satan, the tempter, the accuser, the lier, a thief, For temptation, primarily, satan uses 3 areas of the flesh: 1. The lust of the flesh. 2. The lust of the eye. 3. The pride of life.

    This sermon continues Jesus’ Bread of Life Discourse as he attempts to weed out the curious from the commited followers. In this section he attempts to move the Jews from the temporary unsatisfying and temporal physical and religious food that they lived
