On the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Early Church, God chose to manifest the presence of the Holy Spirit through two, unique symbols that were never repeated again - the sound of a strong wind and tongues of fire.  Together, these two symbols teach us some key insights about what we're to expect when the Holy Spirit moves in a church and in a community.

    2017-05-21 An Exercise of Faith
    Everything in the Christian life is about having faith in God - period.  Although everyone has different needs and situations that require faith, every Christian has the need to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Jesus designed this particular need to be an universal "Exercise of Faith" for every Christian believer.

    2017-05-14 Jesus Said – The Holy Spirit is with You
    "Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me" was King David's most intense prayer and greatest desire.  We sometimes focus so much on the power that the Holy Spirit gives, that we forget about the presence of the Holy Spirit.  He is a person.  He is God.  He is incredibly interested in helping us reach our maximum potential because He loves us!

    2017-05-07 What Prophets Preach
    One of the keynote themes of the preaching of John the Baptist was that Jesus would baptize his church in the Holy Spirit.  The Church all around the world is expanding through the power of the presence of the Holy Spirit - except in the West.  Can it be that Western Churches have neglected the qualities that are needed to receive and respond to the Holy Spirit?

    2017-04-30 A Prophet’s Wish and a Prophetic Word
    Many think of the Holy Spirit as just a "force" or "power" that Christians can tap into.  The Holy Spirit is a person - God Himself, and in the Old Testament two prophets expressed God's plan for the Holy Spirit to made available to every Christian.  This wish and this word from these two prophets form the foundation of our understanding of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  That God desires to immerse each Christian in Himself - and through His Presence, provide the power we need to represent Jesus Christ to the fullest.

    This final message of the series on "The Crossroads of Christianity" celebrates how the Church of Jesus Christ (comprised of individual Christians) must continue to intentionally pass the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ "To Every Generation - To Every Nation."

    2017-04-16 Jesus, The God Who Won’t Stay Dead
    The claim that Jesus rose from the dead after being crucified and buried is Christianity's most crucial and controversial claim.  Which is why human ingenuity, authority, and legality has worked together to try to keep Jesus dead in the hearts and minds of people everywhere.  This fact has made Christianity the world's most persecuted religion, but also points to the inescapable truth of Christianity - that Jesus is ALIVE!

    2017-04-09 Palms, Praise, and People
    The same crowd that had shouted praises and laid palms at Jesus' feet later demanded his crucifixion.  Why?  Sometimes we become disappointed and embittered with God when it appears He hasn't fulfilled His promises or answered our prayers when and how we would prefer Him to do so.  When this happens deep in our hearts our praise begins to fade and our palms wither.  However, there is a way to avoid this!

    The Peter we see preaching on the Day of Pentecost isn't the same Peter who denied knowing Jesus only 50 days before!  What changed this man's character?  It was being filled with the Holy Spirit - an experience that works the same change in character for every Christian.

    Peter the Apostle fell into terrible sin when he denied knowing Jesus.  Yet, there was a way back to restoration for Peter, and there is a way back for any Christian who falls into sin.

    2017-03-19 When Christians Fall
    Peter the Apostle revealed just how human he was when he fell into sin by denying Jesus.  However, falls don't just happen - there is a pattern of attitudes and choices that the Christian makes that makes a fall inevitable.  Knowing these allows us to avoid these.
