Have You Learned The Difference Between Discernment And Judgment? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 29, 2019

What God describes as unclean and what we see as unclean are different things. Should we separate ourselves from the world or should we pick up where Jesus left off and minister to others?

Discernment is the ability to distinguish what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. It involves our meekness and concern without taking a serious action. However; judgment can't stand not being involved. Not only does it involve an action, but it also involves power, criticism, separation, ...read more

Experiencing The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Life demands an energy from you that is not IN you. We call this “burn out.” In order to truly navigate all that life throws at you, you need a power not from within you but from the outside. This is why you need the outside power of the Holy Spirit.

I invite you to turn to Acts 2 as we return back to our study in Acts after some time away. This morning, I want to speak to you about “Experiencing on the Holy Spirit.” To begin 2018, we are going to focus on the Holy Spirit.

You're Invited To A Party!

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 8, 2002

God is throwing a huge party and you’re invited. The only way you get in is by special invitation and by putting on wedding clothes. At the same time the world demands your loyalty and is having a party of it’s own - so which party do you want to go to?

Prophesy to a nation that does not hear, see or obey. That was Jeremiah’s task. The nation had become the generation of His wrath, as ours are today. Judgement is coming. There would be sorrow and death coming, so God said to shave off the hair. God is not mocked – His promise will come.
