Pentecostal Power Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The early church celebrated this day long before they did Christmas. If we are unaware of this day it is due to the lack of understanding of the place of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church.

One of the oldest festival days in history is the Festival of Pentecost. It was one of the favorites of the Jews for centuries before Christ, and it has been a significant day in the church for two thousand years. It became the third great Christian feast after Christmas and Easter. It marks the ...read more

The Thessalonians

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 26, 2022

On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more
