The Holy Spirit is far more than a doctrine to study—He is God’s very presence dwelling in His people.

In this message, we trace the Spirit’s work from creation to Pentecost and discover how one of the Bible’s greatest promises became reality through Jesus. What changed when the temple curtain was torn? What does it mean that God now dwells in His church—and in every believer?

Watch the sermon and see why the gift of the Holy Spirit should fill us with gratitude, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

The Holy Spirit isn’t a vague force or a churchy idea. He is the li...

Most likely there is a huge crowd in the house, and no one has noticed a pr******te like herself has slipped in the room....

As she stands there amazed that she’s even able to look into the eyes of Jesus... she begins weeping.

She is so overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of Jesus that she lets loose tears filled with gratitude.

Because of where she is standing, she begins to wet Jesus’ feet with her tears.

As she looks down to see all of her tears on Jesus’ feet, she notices the dirt on Jesus feet, and she notices the host didn’t provide a servant to wash the feet of Jesus. This is a social disgrace.

Since the tears are profusely running down her face onto his feet, she loosens her hair to wipe clean Jesus’ feet.

And while she’s there, she began to kiss his feet and took the only thing she had to give him...the costly perfume.

Now, did the knowledge that people would think she’s out of place or undeserving to even be in the same room, stop her from showing her gratitude for Jesus and giving all she could give to him? Absolutely not.

This is Jesus we're talking about.

(Luke 7:36-50)

God is good!

Today we welcomed 9 new members into our church family and our members prayed over them together during service.

Grateful for the Lord’s kindness in building His church and for the reminder that we belong to one another in Christ!

A memorable day.

Contentment ❓❓

Contentment is an intangible virtue that no money can buy and no success can bring - and it doesn’t show favoritism. You can be lacking and content, and successful and discontent.

What’s the “secret” 👇

Depending on Christ.

Depending on his control over all life and in his care for your life. That’s why we can say: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
