Like Jehoshaphat, our lives are a series of events and circumstances challenging our obedience and disobedience, pressing on our faithfulness and faithlessness in God. We are successful at times, and at other times we fail. God provides His Holy Spirit to us not just as His power when we need intervention, healing, or rescue but through the power of God�...

Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit…" There are eight places in Scripture, including Acts 2:4, where the phrase “filled with the Holy Spirit” is used, and there is a ninth occurrence where the Holy Spirit obviously filled and enveloped the individual.

Acts 2:1 (NKJV), "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." The phrase “with one accord” in Greek is Homothymadon (Ho-Mo-Thee-Ma-Don’), which is most interesting because it translates as “with one mind, or one heart, or one soul.” Isn’t that beautiful? Before the Holy Spirit was given to them,...

Handout Without the reality that this ceremony symbolizes, mankind would have been reconciled to the Father through the death of Jesus Christ, but the possibility of salvation would not be realized because salvation is made possible through the resurrected life of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ did indeed rise from the grave and was accepted by the Father as the...

Can you, do you, will you identify with the harlot—who was among the “forgiven much,” and therefore “love much?” Or in your heart of hearts, are you more like Simon—among the “forgiven little” who “love little?” Let's take a close look at Luke 7:36-50 and glean a spiritual lesson, for we—whether we realize it or not—must...

"For this reason, many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep." Sleep…we will! But do not fear. For, because of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our love for Christ, and our repentance when we fall short, we are Glory bound…not Gehenna bound! Sleep…we will! But we are...

1 Corinthians 11:30 states, “For this reason, many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.” I don't think there is any great mystery in understanding what Paul is bringing out by mentioning these three items because we all know what it feels like to be weak and sick and, for some of us, what it feels like to be dying....

Passover Preparation and Self-Examination The sifting process is a separation process, most often used to find the good. You can look below the sifter and see the bad and what needs to be discarded, but what shows up on top of the sifter is the good. Sifting is a type of examination.

Handout **I Corinthians 11:28-29**, "28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, **not discerning the Lord’s body.**" Paul says that we must examine ourselves to make sure we are discerning...

ASD&R stands for Annulment, Separation, Divorce, and Remarriage. Handout for Part 13 - ASD&R - Separation What does Christ teach us about marital separation? Often, we may criticize the Sadducees and Pharisees because of their continual testing and harassment of Jesus Christ and His disciples.
