Sermons on Spirits Of Devils:

Filled With The Power Of The Spirit

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jun 4, 2009

Being spirit-filled is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing, always needed process.

WHEN IT COMES TO DESCRIBING WHAT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN DO IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN, I BELIEVE JESUS GAVE US THE ANSWER IN LUKE 7:22-23. IT CAME WHEN JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST TO GIVE A REPORT ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD SEEN AND HEARD WHICH WAS, "THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME ...read more

The Gift Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by John Visser on Jun 9, 2009

Who has God placed in your life with whom you can share his love? At the end of the day, that is one practical test of the gift of the Holy Spirit in your life.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Acts 2:38; Lev. 23:22 One of the institutions we have here in Belleville is the Gleaners Food Bank.

Official Language: Spirit

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2009

The church’s communication medium is the Spirit, who understands us and allows us to understand one another.

Of all the achievements of human genius, nothing is more wonderful than language. And yet, it is also true that nothing is more destructive than language. For language unites us and yet, language also separates us. Of all the gifts we have been given, nothing is more useful than language. With ...read more

Empowered By The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Laren Whaley on Jul 15, 2009

We live in a world obsessed power: political power, military power, racial power, monetary power etc. However, God has an overcoming, victorious power available to every believer through presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In the midst of the dar

The Song Of A Free Spirit

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2009

Singing is a matter of skill and practice, but it is only when your spirit is freed that you have a convincing song to sing, only when your life is changed that you have something to share.

What makes it possible for voices like these to sing music like that? Where do they get whatever it takes to sing with such grace and power and beauty? Of course they have been blessed with a good deal of natural skill. Of course these singers are talented, and there’s no substitute for that. And ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Love" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Love is the preeminent fruit of the Spirit. Without it there are no others.

The entire Bible is a love story. Not like a Harlequin romance, thankfully for us guys. We get to read about war, fishing and death too. But from the creation of the world, through love, for the protection of the Israelites because of love, to the sending of a Saviour out of love, for Jesus ...read more

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Joy" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

This kind of Joy is really a "cheerful, calm, delight, and Christians should experience this joy more than any other people.

Well, we still have the Joy book, Philippians, fairly fresh in our minds from this winter. And as we talk about Joy as a fruit of the spirit we are talking not so much about jumping up and down for joy like when you win the lottery, though it might be like that I suppose. Sometimes I think people ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Patience" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Patience is one the more visible fruit. What is patience according to God’s Word?

The word for patience here is “hypomonea” meaning cheerful endurance or perseverance, long-suffering or long-tempered. It is the fruit that allows us to look at people and not their circumstances or behaviour. The part of us that can see beyond the surface to find the true person that God created ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Kindness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Acts of kindness should spread from one person to another until kindness takes everything over.

May I remind us all that Jesus was homeless after he left his job and the majority of the people in his culture thought he was crazy and they were scared of him. He was an outcast, sure he had a faithful group of followers, but the majority of people thought they were nuts too. “As you did to one ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Faithfulness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

The Greek translation of faithful is actually persuasive and trustworthy. How often is the second part missing in the church?

What is the worse thing that can happen in a marriage? Wouldn’t most people agree it is unfaithfulness, having an affair? Personally I believe that the most important aspect of love is trust and trustworthiness. Once trust is broken it’s incredibly difficult to totally regain it. It’s like our ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Gentleness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Now we deal with gentleness, which is actually from the same root word as kindness, to be useful. However there are many more uses of the word in the Greek that have slightly different meaning like mildness, meekness, suitableness, and humility.

Begin by reading the Magnificat Luke 1 verses 46-49 and then Luke 2:13-19. I find that passage gives me a sense of the peacefulness and gentleness of the night of Christ’s birth. There’s no better display of gentleness in the Bible than Mary when she found out she was pregnant, and then gave ...read more
