Thinking Rightly About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the most abused person of the trinity — He is often neglected in favor of focusing on the Father and the Son; sometimes He is given too much focus and is assigned many experiences and events that He has no part in. Pastor Rod Bunton continues his series and helps us to think rightly about the Holy Spirit.
The Gift of Tongues
Acts 2:1-13 On the day of Pentecost, men from every nation were gathered together listening to preaching about the mighty works of God and were bewildered when each heard it in their own native language. Pastor Rod Bunton makes some Biblical observations about the gift of tongues and discusses the controversial topic of their use today.
The Birth of the Church
Acts 2:1-4 Jesus made two promises before he ascended into Heaven: that he would build his church and that he would send the Holy Spirit to be with his believers. Pastor Rod Bunton begins a short series on the person and work of the Holy Spirit that fulfilled both promises.
The Ascension
Luke 24:50-53 Luke’s gospel account ends with a meeting between Jesus and his apostles where an amazing and significant event takes place. Pastor Rod Bunton concludes his series on the book of Luke and explains why the ascension of Jesus matters so much to Christians.
The Great Commission
Luke 24:45-49 After spending many days on Earth after his resurrection and making many appearances, Jesus made final preparations before ascending into Heaven. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Jesus opened the minds of the apostles so that they would fully understand the instructions that he was about to give — those same instruction that apply to all Christians.
