    It is clear from our Jewish roots and the early church that Pentecost is about a new spiritual experience. It is about a promise and it is about how we are changed when we receive this promise of the Holy Spirit. It is also about a harvest.

    The Divine Fire We look back today at the first evidence of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the early days of the Christian Church. This movement by the Holy Spirit is a promise fulfilled by Jesus and a promise fulfilled by prophecy as St. Peter tells us from Joel Chapter 2 . Jesus ...read more

    Exploring how the church can see God’s power fall upon it

    Elijah did some things that allowed the fire of God (God’s power) fall on the altar. When we implement the same principles in our lives and church, we will see God’s power fall on us. 1. Elijah repaired the altar (v. 30). Our altar: Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 2:20 What breaks our altar: sin (Psalm ...read more
