  • THE GHOST: The Filling of The Holy Spirit | Part 3
    Oct 23 2024

    Pastor PJ approaches the subject of speaking in tongues and what the Bible has to say about it.

    "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-2, 4 ESV

    Two Critical Points the Bible Makes About Speaking in Tongues:
    1. When someone Speaks in a tongue publicly, there should always be someone to interpret. Verses reference: 1 Corinthians 14:27-28 & 14:23
    2. Speaking in tongue strengthens the person speaking, not the entire church. Verse reference: 1 Corinthians 14:4-5 & 14:19

    Paul makes several points about speaking in tongues:

    (1) It is a spiritual gift from God (1 Cor. 14:2)
    (2) Even though it is a gift, it isn't a requirement of faith (1 Cor. 12:28-31)
    (3) Paul emphasized a greater need for Speaking truth and teaching the Word (1 Cor. 14:4)

  • THE BLESSED CHURCH: Blessed Addition | Part 7
    Oct 2 2024

    In wrapping up our series on The Blessed Church, PJ Noland shares how evangelism is a charge given to all believers to live out daily.

    Key thought: God desires to make Himself known.

    We are all called to be sharers of the Gospel. Romans 10:15, 17 says, "As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!' So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."

    Did you know that 95% of all American Christians have never shared the Good News of Jesus with another person? How will they hear if we aren't telling them?

    Listen in as we learn how to live differently to expand the Kingdom.
