In this episode we are going to tackle the age old question of the sabbath. Is it Saturday, is it Sunday, does it still apply to us at all? The episode argues that Jesus shifted the emphasis from legalistic observance to spiritual rest, as seen in Matthew 12, where Jesus challenges the Pharisees' rigid interpretation of the Sabbath. The host concludes that the Holy Spirit is the believer's true rest, making every day a Sabbath in a spiritual sense. While setting aside a day for worship is valuable, the podcast warns against divisiveness over which day to observe. It encourages listeners to seek a personal relationship with God and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

Did spiritual gifts, dreams, visions, and miracles in the Church cease from existence after the death of the Apostles?

This episode discusses the belief within the Pentecostal church that spiritual gifts, dreams, visions, and miracles did not cease after the Apostles, despite the claims of cessationists. The Pentecostal perspective is based on biblical precepts, attributing nine spiritual gifts to believers filled with the spirit of God. Scholars from various denominations have attempted to minimize or disprove supernatural occurrences associated with Pentecostal beliefs, labeling them as fanaticism or heresy.

The host delves into scriptures often cited by cessationists to support their view that spiritual gifts ceased with the end of the apostolic age. However, the video argues that these scriptures, when read in context, actually support the continuation of spiritual gifts until the return of Jesus Christ.

Additionally, the host refutes the idea that the foundational role of the apostles and prophets was unique to the early church, pointing out that the church is being built up and strengthened by the transference of power from the apostles to future believers.

In conclusion, the Pentecostal perspective is supported by scripture and logic, emphasizing that spiritual gifts are vital for the empowerment and edification of the church until Jesus returns.
