Pentecost is all about the great salvation provided by God through Jesus and how the apostles spread the Good News to the world. Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, has empowered us to be witnesses (Acts 1:8). This is the purpose of Pentecost. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

The Holy Spirit manifested through the 120 disciples in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost for a purpose. We must understand the purpose of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit or else we will get sidetracked and miss the message. It is just possible God wants to get your attention so He can tell you something important.

We believe America and the world is in desperate need of another visitation by God. On my Facebook page I have posted information on past outpourings and revivals that in my opinion saved this nation. Please agree with me in prayer for another Pentecost. Thank you for listening and please share with your friends.

This episode will challenge some traditional views of the events that occurred on the Day of Pentecost. Hopefully this message will enlighten us and help some to better understand the Pentecostal experience. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

As a Prelude to Pentecost there was some business to take care of or things that needed to happen. A study of the events prior to the day of Pentecost and every outpouring of the Holy Spirit since reveal what precedes the main event. It seems there are some common denominators. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Prelude is what precedes the main event. Jesus told the disciples to "wait" in Jerusalem until they had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. "Wait" in this context does not mean inactivity rather to remain in a constant state of expectancy. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Pentecost is first and foremost about receiving power to share our testimony of salvation that others may know Him. The boldness of the early disciples in the face of severe persecution cannot be explained apart from Pentecost. Do you need some courage? Thanks for listening and sharing with your friends.

Preaching Pentecost is foundational to the establishment of a New Testament Church. When preachers fail in their responsibility to preach Pentecost the believers will cease to experience it. This is so basic that it requires a simple yet radical return to believing what the Bible says. Thanks for listening and sharing.

Prayer is essential to Preparation for Pentecost because it prepares our hearts to receive from God. It is exciting when believers agree together to pray and believe the Lord for an outpouring of His Spirit. The possibilities are staggering! Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Prophecy set the stage for the events of the Day of Pentecost and is the key to understanding what the Holy Spirit did that day. Joel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and others prophesied the coming of the Holy Spirit to indwell every believer. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Easter is over – now what? The story doesn’t end with an empty tomb. Jesus told his disciples there was more. The next major event on the Christian Calendar is Pentecost. Let’s talk about it.

Oh the intimacies and the memories the disciples made with Jesus! Camping by the Sea of Galilee with Jesus! Awesome! When was the last time you had one of those experiences with Jesus? You know what I mean, where He spoke to you. He’s alive you know. Do not be afraid, Jesus welcomes you, come and dine. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

“Salvation is free” someone said. Really? While it is true you cannot earn salvation the fact remains it cost Jesus everything. Free to you, yes, cheap? No. “Cheap grace” preaching leaves off the “Follow Me” words of Jesus. You need the help of the Holy Spirit to know Jesus. “You must be born again” He said. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Jesus is the risen Lord! Can you imagine what He looks like today? You might be surprised to learn that many of the attempts at portraying the risen Lord are inaccurate. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Jesus has risen! He appears and disappears at will. He appears to two disciples on their way to Emmaus but like Mary they did not recognize him. His appearance changed after his resurrection. Prior to His ascension He made appearances but only to those of his choosing. Today He wants to reveal Himself to everyone. I can help. May I introduce you to Jesus today?

Should Jesus appear to you today it is just possible you might not recognize Him. He will know you. The risen Lord is an awesome thing to see! How would you react?

The King is Coming! The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of King Jesus (Revelation 11:15). He came as the Lamb the first time but His second coming will be as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is a window of opportunity open for you but it is closing fast. Make Jesus your Lord today friend. Thanks for listening and sharing with your friends.

Jesus exaltation to His Throne in heaven is the subject of the Apostle Peter's first sermon following the Day of Pentecost. He is the King and we are his subjects. We serve at the pleasure of the King! Thanks for listening and sharing with your friends.

Did you know that even unbelievers called Jesus King? Pilate had a sign made and placed on the cross above the head of Jesus which read, "King of the Jews" to which the Jewish leaders objected but to no avail. Those who know Him worship him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thanks for listening and please share this message with a friend.

We may need to rethink our view of Jesus at this season. While it is true He came the first time to redeem us from our sins through his death on the cross, the scriptures reveal a much different picture of His Second Coming. The next time this world sees him it will be as King!
