In today’s message, Pastor John will be talking about a controversial topic – speaking in tongues. He’ll explain exactly what this gift is, and what it means for a believer in the world today. One thing he’ll emphasize, though – speaking in tongues does not mean that you are a born-again Christian! It doesn’t save you from sin, and it certainly doesn’t mean that you’re more spiritual than anyone else. Speaking in tongues is a gift, and an act of worship, and is still relevant to study today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 2 as he continues his message, The Miracles of Pentecost.

Do you define words and concepts in the Bible the correct way? It may not be something you’ve dwelt on in the past, but today, Pastor John will share how important it actually is. If the church redefines what the Bible has said, we get into dangerous territory. We want other things in the world to be accurate, so why would the Bible be any different? Instead of trying to find the meaning yourself of an idea from the Bible, Pastor John encourages you to go back to the source – the author of the Book!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 2 as he continues his message, The Miracles of Pentecost.

The church is not perfect! It’s filled with human beings, all living in a broken world and relying on a Savior to make them whole. This was true of the first church, and the first Christians, and it’s true today! Pastor John will be explaining in his message today how the addition of the Holy Spirit to the early church changed their perspective and their actions. He’ll also share today why these miracles of Pentecost still affect you, and how you too can be altered by the power of this incredible gift!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 2 as he begins his message, The Miracles of Pentecost.

The Apostles had a big decision to make – who would replace Judas? In today’s message, Pastor John will talk through some of their process for selecting a new member, and point out that before deciding, they consulted the Lord. These men recognized that their personal opinions and preferences shouldn’t sway the choice, and they knew what’s still true today – God sees the heart! God knows you and everyone around you. He sees it all, nothing is hidden from Him.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 1 as he continues his message, Preparing For Power.

The Apostles knew Jesus personally – they followed and learned from Him for years before He went to the cross. After His death and resurrection, they again were able to spend time with Jesus face to face. Pastor John will tell you in today’s message that Jesus is still alive, and you can experience Him just as personally as the Apostles did! You can know Him and have your sins forgiven by Him. You can rest in Jesus’ loving arms, and you can learn from His perfect example!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 1 as he begins his message, Preparing For Power.

The book of Acts details how the early church carried out the great commission – and as Pastor John will explain today, how you should be doing the same! Jesus told His followers to go into all the earth and share the Good News, first at home, then beyond your comfort zone. That sounds easier in theory than in practice, but there’s something to remember – you have help! If you’ve given your life to Jesus, you have access to the Holy Spirit! He’s the most magnificent companion and guide you’ll ever need!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 1 as he continues his message, The Promise of Power.

Today Pastor John will introduce you to the book of Acts, or as he will be calling it, the Gospel of the Spirit. He’ll be introducing you to this New Testament book and sharing what you can expect as you join him each day. Throughout these teachings you’ll learn about the birth and growth of the church. And you will also discover what it means for you as a follower of Jesus. Though not all of what you read is happening right now on earth, it doesn’t mean it’s not essential – and it doesn’t mean that God won’t do similar things again!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 1 as he begins his message, The Promise of Power.

God’s Word should be what you turn to in EVERY situation! In his message today, Pastor John will encourage you to find joy in the Bible, and to desire more and more of the precious and life-giving words it holds. He’ll also remind you to run to Scripture when problems arise. Search the pages of God’s love letter to you for comfort and direction. Scripture is what you need to get through your day and where you can turn for every unexpected event that you encounter. The Bible is a faithful companion!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalm chapter 19 as he continues his message The Christian and the Bible.

The Bible is such a valuable asset to you! And it isn’t just meant for your spiritual walk – Scripture contains guidance for every situation you encounter in your daily life. Pastor John will explain today how important it is to spend time daily in the Word and to meditate on it day and night. Let it fill your thoughts and influence your actions. The Bible helps shape your perspective on relationships, teaches you who you serve and why, and it blesses your life! Make reading your Bible part of your daily routine!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalm chapter 1 as he begins his message, The Christian and the Bible.

The church needs the Bible to know how to behave, how to grow, and how to serve the world. But as Pastor John will inform you today, the Bible also depends on the church! Without the body of Christ sharing the Gospel message and God’s truth, people aren’t likely to turn to the Bible. They won’t understand why it’s important! As you continue to mature in your faith through time spent in the Bible, share what you learn. Let others see the transformation it has on you, and invite them to do the same!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 2 as he continues his message, The Church and the Bible.
