About this Episode
In Acts 2, on the day of Pentecost, we see a massive promise being fulfilled by God. God had promised throughout the Old Testament to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. During His ministry, Jesus taught about the coming Holy Spirit and made the same promise again in Acts chapter 1. The Holy Spirit was present even in the Old Testament, but His work took on a wonderful new tone under the terms of the New Covenant. This message begin an exploration of the events of Pentecost, and their implications for us who lives under the New Covenant.
Unfortunately, the last 13 minutes of this sermon did not record, and during that time, we were challenged to remember that during the visions of Himself that God granted a vision of His glory to, it was not His military power, nor His physical strength, nor any other characteristic that we would figure important that drove the observers to their knees. It was His excellence of Spirit, His moral power, His holiness. As Isaiah reflected in his vision, compared to God, he was a man of unclean lips that lived with a people of unclean lips. We were also challenged to remember that we to, as followers of Jesus, and the abode of the Holy Spirit, that we too should be compelled to excellence of Spirit, and moral power, to be motivated for, and empowered to, the works that God has for us to accomplish in His authority.

The Necessity of Trials for Our Sanctification - Audio
“God's people have their trials. It was never designed by God, when he chose his people, that they should be an untried people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction; they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy. Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never promised them.” CH Spurgeon
These words by Spurgeon reflect a certain reality that our contemporary culture has a hard time dealing with. God has not promised to take away our struggles or to fix every problem. What He has promised to do, is to give meaning and context to the hardships that we face in this broken world around us. Because of sin, the world around us does not function or work in the way God intended; one day it will once again, but not today. IN the meantime, God has promised to give purpose and hope to the hearts and minds of His people during their times of struggle.
Join us in this message as we see what God has promised to do.

The Meditation and Practice of Our Holiness- Part 2 The Direction of Our Obedience - Audio
The Christian life is a building up of character. It is more than belief of certain truths, the sustaining of certain religious emotions; it is the continuous working into the warp and woof of our life every good and excellent quality until we arrive at the measure of and stature of the fulness that is in Christ. The apostle exhorts us to train our minds to a high and refined sense of this. It is true that the regenerate are taught of God, and have the Spirit to guide them. But, this is not to supersede the use of their own faculties. The Bible shows us “what is good” in its great principles, but leaves us to find out their illimitable application. The sanctification of men is the true object of redemption (Gal_1:4; Tit_2:14). For this Christ took our nature, was tempted in all points like as we are, and died. And as His salvation is not a common and earthly good, so the holiness to which He moulds us is not a common and natural perfection, but one singular and supernatural.
The Meditation of the Practice of Our Holiness- Part 1 - Audio
The meditation and practice of our holiness revolve around a very important point that Paul draws in our text for today's study. A second time we pointed toward the conclusion of the whole presentation set before us in the preceding texts. Before it was “finally, brethren, rejoice in the Lord.” The whole history of conversion with all its preliminary struggles, the terrors and sorrows of repentance, the hopes and fears of faith, finds its issue and rest in this. But here is a second “finally.” There is something beyond the exultation of deliverance through Christ; that is the attainment of a perfect character in Him. As followers of Jesus, we are urged to fix our full and determinate thought upon His perfection at work in us. The word is often used to signify due appreciation, and it bids us here with strong emphasis estimate rightly the place morality and holiness holds in the gospel.
Being Anxious for Nothing - Audio
The world around us is a place of turmoil. Every news report, every social media post, almost every human interaction seems designed and purposed to stir the emotions, incite our fears, and instil in us great anxiety. In this message, we examine anxiety, how it affects us, causes us to distrust God, and why God is the only one who can grant us any measure of peace in this world.

Rejoicing- The Foundation of Our Reconcilation - Audio
When disharmony arises between a spirit-filled person and God, or that person and another, the one who is spirit-filled aches for equity in that relationship to be restored. The struggle that we encounter is that disharmony afflicts our hearts and minds, we seek struggle under the weight of knowing that we are living in the shadow of that broken relationship. We crave restoration, reconciliation. The isolation we feel when our relationships fracture cuts deeply because we love, we care, we hurt. The greater the affection, the greater the hurt. And sometimes, that hurt drives its intensity from the depth of the love that was felt. But, how do we find reconciliation? How do we give up our moral, ethical, spiritual, high ground? Where do we find the security to let down our guard? We find it in the heart of Jesus. We find it in HIs mind. And, we find it in the comfort of His Kingdom. That He is. That our relationship with Him never changes.
Join us as We study rejoicing in the mind, character, and nature of Jesus.
