Our Sunday Morning Message for October 20, 2024

​

                                 "Baptism of The Holy Spirit"

                                        Text: I Corinthians 12:12-13

                                         

​Our Sunday morning messages are topical in nature. As pastor, I try to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in the messages I preach. They vary on many subjects from both the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. However, regardless of my text, my goal is to explain the text by comparing scripture with scripture. My method of preaching is expository in nature with the attempt to explain each verse according to the context. I am a slave to the text. Wherever the text leads me that will be my focus.      

 

It is my goal that my congregation in our Sunday morning service walk away understanding the Word of God as the Holy Spirit directs me as their pastor.

​

In this message, we focus on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Every believer has received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit the moment they trusted Christ as their Savior. It is not something you seek after, but is given freely by the Holy Spirit when you are converted. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit also places you in the body of Christ at your conversion. We instantly become a part of God's family. God's family is a big family, and this is the reason we call each other brother and sister in the family of God.

​

I encourage you to listen to this message in it's entirety as I try to walk you through the meaning of this text. May this message encourage you as it did those who attended our morning service.
