Heads Up on the Holy Spirit In John 7 , we have a story of family, and faith and promises for followers.

In the book of Acts, Paul follows up his account of Jesus' ministry with an account of how the Holy Spirit empowered Jesus' disciples to change the world. But what exactly was the power the Spirit granted, how was it used to such dramatic effect, and is this still something available to us today? Join us to dig into these questions.

Today is pentecost Sunday. It’s the day that many churches celebrate the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Others recognize it in the Christian Calendar as an historical event that has no relevance. Pentecost is a big deal for several reasons. We know that Jesus was crucified and died but rose from the dead…

Introduction Last week we learned that our need is twofold: we need reconciliation and transformation, or justification and sanctification. We dealt primarily with the need of Justification: Justification is an act of God whereby He declares unjust sinners to be just after He has imputed to them the…

Samson seems like a super-hero. With his super-strength he is almost invulnerable, and single-handedly kills thousands. And yet his story is one of constant frustration and failure. Samson's strength is not his own, for he was called to a purpose: ridding Israel of the Philistines. So even when he ignores this purpose, God works through him to achieve this end. How can we avoid being like Samson--striving for (and failing at) our own purposes serving greater ends despite ourselves? Are we, too, doomed to Samson's restless misery, or is there a better way?

The question is "How can we fulfill this expectation of Jesus Christ for us?" Let's find the answer from John 14:8-17.

A Defining Moment 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28…

1 As they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them, 2 being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them and put them in jail until the…

The power of God's Spirit comes upon us when we expect, prepare, and declare God's Word

Jesus was leaving his disciples. “If you love me, keep my commands.” – Jesus instructs us to increase in love and good works after we have come to faith in him. “The world cannot accept him” – Those who do not believe have not seen God with the spiritual eyes of faith, therefore, cannot know God.
