    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,365 views

    Fire fills us with fear and yet Jesus came to baptised us also in fire. There must be then something about God’s fire that we need to find.

    Baptized in fire Matthew 3:11 There is a new term under theologians – historical criticism.

    This is an idea I received while listening to a cassette of Bro. Bob Harrington "The Chaplain of Bourbon Street" He is a dynamic speaker and a great man of God.

    Today is the first Sunday in 2007 and what better way to begin it than with the Holy Spirit. We all need the Holy Spirit since we are spiritual beings and can only function when we are spiritually alive.

    Many people ask the question, "Why is life unfair?" The Psalmist in the 73 Psalm, feels the same way. How do we answer this question?

    Why Do The Wicked Prosper? Life is unfair. There are so many things about life that don’t make sense. I had a great childhood. My father was a police officer here in Nashville. My mother was a CPA in Green Hills. We lived in what the time seemed like a mansion. Now looking back I realize it ...read more

    Part Two of the "Big Picture" of the bible’s story.

    Introduction We are looking at the big picture of God’s story. The Message – what is it really?
