Pinecrest Baptist Church

Jesus concludes the kingdom parables with the illustration of the drag net, drawing all men into final judgment. We don’t like to hear about hell and eternal retribution, but it is the most loving and kind thing Jesus could do for us - warn us of coming judgment and invite us to escape it by accepting his offer of forgiveness and eternal life!

This command to be "filled with the Spirit" is often overlooked by God's people. Our lives are to be permeated, influenced in every part by the Holy Spirit as we yield our lives to His control. It is not a "feeling", but rather a "filling."

In the kingdom parables of the treasure hid in a field and the pearl of great price Jesus reminds us of the tremendous price He paid to redeem Israel and to purchase salvation for His body, the church. His death proves our value to God.

What does it really mean to be baptized by the Holy Spirit?

Jesus is continuing His teaching of the Kingdom Parables to the disciples and relates truths illustrated by the mustard seed and leaven. We can expect that truth and error will grow side by side and each will have their converts. Some of Satan's biggest lies are in the religious realm!

What is the Holy Spirit doing in this world today? The Apostle John, along with other New Testament writers, detail His important work in deterring evil and drawing people to Christ.

Join us as we rediscover the Person of the Holy Spirit.
