Messages on Holy Spirit

Last week, we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus.  He is alive!  Nothing could keep Him down!  Nothing could trip Him up!  Nothing can stop the Kingdom of God, the will of God, nor the purposes of God!  That means that if you choose to put your faith in Jesus and receive new life, you also are unstoppable!  How do we make the most of this new life that Jesus gave us?  How do we know if we are living it…

This morning, we come together to celebrate Pentecost Sunday!  The word Pentecost in the Greek literally means “the fiftieth day.”  Who here is excited about the fiftieth day?!?!  Well, fifty days in and of itself isn’t anything to get all that excited about.  However, after this morning, we will understand why Pentecost is actually so exciting to us as disciples of Jesus. We’re not going to spend a whole lot of time on this, but it is important that we understand why…

This morning, we come together to celebrate Pentecost Sunday! I felt that this morning, the Lord wanted us to have a little less talk and a lot more action! However, so that we can all celebrate together, we’re first going to review what Pentecost Sunday is all about. Pentecost literally just means fiftieth.

This morning, we come together to celebrate the Day of Pentecost!!!! Pentecost, meaning fiftieth, is the day on which Jewish men and women celebrate Shavuot; the festival of weeks.  It is celebrated seven full weeks (50 days) following Passover and is a time of sacrifice and offering.  It is now also a time of remembering the giving of the Torah; the first five books of our Bible. Today, we celebrate it in remembrance of the day when Jesus sent the…

Last week, we learned much about the person and the works of the Holy Spirit as revealed through the Bible, which He inspired.  This week, we’re going to learn how to receive the Holy Spirit and to stay filled with Him. A phenomenon that becomes difficult for us to wrap our minds around is that although the Holy Spirit is everywhere always, we find that something interesting is true when it comes to mankind.  A person can either be void of, or…

This year is flying by fairly fast as spring has finally sprung!  It’s a busy time of the year for many of us as we begin to dig into the projects around the house that we’ve been forced to put off until winter passed. Normally, when working on a project, there is a project manager or supervisor of some kind that has a vision for the project and has various tasks as part of that project that they desire to…

Last night, God spoke to me and changed the direction for this morning’s service and the message.  I felt that instead of learning about the person and works of the Holy Spirit, that we were to cover the subject of spiritual warfare.  This will not be an all-inclusive coverage of the subject, but should be enough to raise awareness of the battle raging against us and for us to know how to begin gaining victory in these battles. Without going…
