     | 7,783 views

    The spirit is what was saved when we believed and trusted Jesus…..it was moved from being separated forever from God and thrown into Hell at judgment day to being born again so to speak by the Holy Spirit that now lives in each of those who receive Him in

    He Lives In Me.

    Attitude Problem

    Contributed by Theresa Ratliff on Mar 25, 2013
     | 4,971 views

    Basedon Acts 2:1-21, this sermon talks about how our attitude about the Holy Spirit affects our ability to let the Spirit work in our lives.

    I know many of you won’t want to admit it, but I bet there are passages in the Bible that you don’t particularly care for. Not because they cut too deep or because you don’t understand them, but simply because they don’t excite you. Well, I have a confession to make. When I ...read more

    Many Christians today do not have a true understanding of the anointing. This sermon teaches the basic principles.

    Understanding the anointing Very few Christians - have true understanding of anointing. What they have been taught may not be exactly right. They probably know that the anointing involves power, that it has something to do with Holy Spirit, and that's about it. There is an old saying "a little ...read more

    The Way, The Truth, The Life

     | 6,036 views

    The Christian way of life can only be fulfilled through the power of the Holy Spirit. When a person walks in "the way and the truth," life is produced. A life in Christ is a transformed life. We change what we were for who He is.

    John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus is obviously talking about Eternal Life with the Father in Heaven. People ask “why is Jesus the ONLY way to God?” The answer is: Christianity is the ONLY religion ...read more

    I believe the time has come for churches all over to put aside their differences and to come together in unity to put their foot down on the neck of the accuser and say “enough is enough!”

    This is the fourth sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

    THE NEVERTHELESS OF HIS GOING AWAY John 16:1-16 Introduction • Saying good-bye is never easy, whether it’s at an airport, a family reunion, or the deathbed of a loved one. The Last Supper was no exception. For Jesus and His disciples, this was their last meal together. • The ...read more

    Reasons For Speaking In Tongues

    Speaking and praying in the spirit builds up our spirit, soul and body.

    1Cor.14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself… Many Charismatics believe that when you speak in tongues, you edify or build up your spirit man. Well, that is only one-third true. The Bible does not say that the speaker edifies his spirit, it says that the speaker “edifies ...read more
