| The Holy Spirit - Part 3 |
| The Holy Spirit now works in us to accomplish transformation, communication, and miraculous power. But added to this activity is the permanance of the born child. For a New Covenant believer, the birth of the Spirit secures entrance into the Kingdom... |
| The Holy Spirit - Part 2 |
| In this second lesson in a series of three, look at the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant. In the Old Covenant, the Spirit moved to create, while in the New Covenant, the Spirit first moves to give birth. Because Jesus became the firstborn, we now can be born of the Spirit. Also, this lesson shows that the New Testament authors did not distinguish the Holy Spirit as being separate in nature from the Father, and the Spirit of Christ... |
| The Holy Spirit - Part 1 |
| This is the first in a three-part study on the Holy Spirit. This first lesson describes the Holy Spirit's role in the Old Covenant. God is actively moving in the Old Covenant to effect transformation, empowerment, and communication, but in a limited fashion. We analyze prophecies in the Old Testament about a future removal of these limitations, and introduce the primary difference between the result of God's moving in Old and New. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Twenty-One & Twenty-Two |
| And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Nineteen & Twenty |
| And after these th0ings I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia, Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are his judgments for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen,Alleluia. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Seventeen & Eighteen |
| And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Fourteen, Fifteen & Sixteen |
| And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Twelve & Thirteen |
| And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. |
| The Book Of Revelation - Chapters Ten & Eleven |
| And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was
upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in
his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. |

Hip-hop church shares message via music (Lansing State Journal)
A passerby hearing the bass track thumping from Urban Jerusalem on a Saturday night easily might conclude that it's a nightclub. Inside, that opinion would only be strengthened by the crowded dance floor, pulsating strobe lights, break dancing, graffiti art, DJ and rappers. |
