Due to the Corinthians' egotistic understanding of ministry, their church services had degraded into showmanship and individual experiences. In this sermon we will perform a summary view of Paul's treatise against private fanaticism, for the sake of building up, and maintaining corporate order, within each local expression of Christ's church.

In this sermon we evaluate the gifts of prophecy, tongues, and knowledge, assessing the more technical matters associated, along with finding clarity on "the perfect" in which every believer should place their hope.

In the most beautiful chapter of the New Testament, Paul points out the fading nature of spiritual gifts, and the eternal treasure of love; reminding us that even if we're the most "gifted" Christian in the room, lest we serve in love, all our effort will be counted as waste.

Our world is filled with sin, sorrow, loss, and crisis. Even Christians who love Christ often feel overwhelmed by the pain and forget God's promises. On Easter morning, there was one young woman enduring such a moment, and John lets us peek into her beautiful story of restored faith and hope.

The Corinthians pursued showy gifts and ministry roles, turning their church into a display of human power, rather than a symphony of holy harmony led by the Spirit. In this message, we study Paul's warning to have the right attitude in relation to our spiritual gift, and how we use that gift to bless the body of Christ.

Over the past 30-years "faith healing" movements have mainstreamed in the evangelical church. In this message, we analyze the claims of these so-called healers, holding their ministry and teaching up against the New Testament.

In this message we'll review Ephesians 5 and Galatians 5, among other passages, to define the filling of the Holy Spirit, and ascertain the notable evidence of a Christian who is walking in daily yield to the Spirit's work.

Paul tells the Corinthians that their spiritual baptism was done in the past, and we find historical accounts of this throughout the Book of Acts. In this message, we examine the historical development of Acts, learning when and why the Holy Spirit was sent to Earth.

In recent days many are saying there is a new "revival" at Asbury University in Kentucky. Similar to many other "revivals" people are traveling hours to visit this small college town in order to "seek" God for an "outpouring" of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, we study the roots of such revival, and work to define a true Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
