The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood of the Godhead, yet it is He Who provides the power for living.

What must those who lead God's people's worship do? Leviticus 10:4–20 looks forward to the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these seventeen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that those who lead God's people in worship must follow and teach God's own instructions for His worship and His people.

The kingdom age will be for 1,000 years and it will be a physical kingdom right her on this earth. It will be a time where righteousness and goodness dominate. A place where man will be in harmony with each other and with the animal world. A place without satan or his demons , but where Jesus Christ will rule supremely, and universally. It will be a rule that is righteous, just and fair and where sin is dealt with instantly and firmly.

Galatians 5

Teaching on Acts 2:14-24

In this message we look at the end of Solomon's life and reign and how his lusts turned his heart away from God and the consequences that came from that.

Paul knew that everything that happened to him was so the gospel would go further. Understanding this helps us to not complain and to be looking for that opportunity.

New Heart, New Spirit_34 Ezekiel 38:1-23The Lord's Deliverance of Israel from the Evil Prince Gog: A Picture of God Protecting His People. In Ezekiel 38, we now start to see the Jewish people returning to the land. Jews will have returned to Israel from many nations to resettle and rebuild the desolate land. They will be living in peace and security when the evil ruler Gog suddenly marches against them. Gog's massive army will descend on Israel like a storm and cover the land like a dark cloud. But keep in mind what is happening behind the scenes. God is at work, preparing to demonstrate His power to overrule these evil nations. He will arouse these evil nations to mobilize for war so that He can lead them to destruction.God has the power to overrule the evil of both nations and individuals. Whatever evil confronts us, God's omnipotent, unlimited, infinite power can conquer it. There is no limit to what God can and will do for us. He will work all things out for our good. The LORD warns us all that a day of judgment coming. And the day has already been determined. It is set, fixed. And it is inevitable. Nothing will stop God from executing justice and judgment upon earth.

For the kingdom to be good news to us, we must be transformed into its subjects. And to all who receive Him, King Jesus does just that by His Spirit.

In this message we focus on Light, how God is light, how Jesus is the light of the world and how we are to reflect that light.

How do you know if you, or anyone else, is a true Christian? Paul warns us that there are many false ideas about Christianity, and so identifies for us the marks of the circumcision—those things which invariably attend a regenerate heart, found in the life of a man or woman alive in Christ. Here he gives us three things: true worship, true joy, and true confidence, all in marked contrast to the external and carnal forms of those who might imagine themselves religious but who do not know God in Christ. These are the marks of the circumcision, the indicators that we belong to Christ and are part of the new covenant community of believers.

Jesus was baptized in solidarity with His people. The flip side of that truth: you and I, indeed all the baptized, are in solidarity with Jesus Christ. He is one of us by His baptism — but by our baptisms, we are one with Him. Jesus Christ died. We hang an instrument of death in the front of our worship spaces to remind ourselves of the fact that we are here to worship a crucified Jew. Jesus is in solidarity with us — but we are in solidarity with Him. He died, and when baptized, we die. We die symbolically, in that we pass through the water of judgment that drowned Pharaoh's hosts. Our old, corrupt self dies spiritually, in order that we might be reborn to new life. We also die mystically, in union with our head, the Lord Jesus Christ. So today, we will dive into the apostle's teaching regarding baptism and the death of Christ. Baptism is a sign and seal of solidarity with Christ's death. His sufferings are, in some sense, yours if and when you are baptized. How could you live in sin? Baptism, rightly received in its full spiritual implications, has united you to Jesus Christ. His death conquered sin. Baptism signifies and seals that union with Christ in which His death to sin becomes your death to sin.

Advancing Through Acts: When The Spirit Shows Up! Acts 10:43-48

The ministry of the Holy Spirit superintended Worship in the absence of a closed canon. ---There must be unity in understandable Worship in the Congregation. ---There must be interpretation of tongues in worship or the speaker must be silent. In the ministry of the Holy Spirit today, ordinary operation of temporary gifts of the Holy Spirit has ceased as the Spirit continues to superintend worship that glorifies God in Christ.
