Avenue Church

The Holy Spirit gives believers special abilities for ministry. We each have different gifts, but they are given by the same Spirit for the same work of building The Church.

Throughout the book of Acts, we see the believer experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a regular occurrence following salvation. What is it? Why should we experience it? Is it normal?

The Holy Spirit is the primary catalyst of New Birth and New Life for a believer. Jesus lets us know that even though we can't fully understand it, we can fully experience it. 

We Answer the questions of who (not what) is the Holy Spirit as a fulfillment of Jesus' promise to the disciples. 

We celebrate Easter because of our Risen Savior. His death has made a way into God's presence and His power can roll the stones away in our life.

The disciple's obedience helped get him into the city. Our obedience can bring Jesus into the lives of those around us and into our city. 

We've been told we should be brave like David and face our giants. How would we live if we recognized Jesus as our giant slayer?

 

The story of the beloved son, Joseph, is more than rags to riches story. It's the story of reconciliation and restoration and the foreshadowing of what Jesus would offer us. We've been forgiven and should work to forgive others.
