The Time Is Now!

Verde Valley Christian Church May 23, 2021 Title: "The Time Is Now!" Series:  His Presence Speaker: Jim Hammond ...we face a dark time in the history of God's people. In spite of some encouraging signs, the forces of evil seem to be gathering for a colossal assault on the work of God in the world. Satan has unleashed his power in a way perhaps unparalleled in the history of the Christian Church.  If ever there was a time we needed renewal, it is now. In the midst of the vast problems which face our world, Christians are strangely silent and powerless, almost overwhelmed by the tides of secularism. Billy Graham, p. 316, “The Holy Spirit”, 1978.  I.     DIAGNOSIS ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:13‬‬ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

What It Means to Be Filled With The Spirit

Series:  His Presence Speaker: Jim Hammond I.     A Promised GIFT John 4:10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would ask him, and he would give you living water.” John 4:13-14 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up in him for eternal life.” John 7:38 The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.” II.     A Commanded RESPONSIBILITY Ephesians 5:18 And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit: When you are filled with the Spirit, you are filled with an overflowing supply of grace, everything you need for a good and beautiful life that pleases God. Ephesians 4:30 (CSB)   And don’t grieve God’s Ho...
