The Power of Pentecost

Speaking in Tongues

May 26, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Luke 24:48–49, Acts 1:4–8, Acts 2:1–4, Acts 10:44–48, 1 Corinthians 14:1–2

When we receive Holy Spirit, we should expect to speak in tongues.

Holy Spirit doesn't take over your tongue, but does tell you what to say, giving you the words to speak out of your mouth. We have to speak what He says.

First - We are filled with the PERSON of HOLY SPIRIT.

THEN - Holy Spirit tells us what to say.

It's Holy Spirit's job to give us the "utterance," but it's our job to do the speaking.

"While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days." Acts 10:44-48

The Power Package

July 7, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • 1 Corinthians 14:1–2, 1 Corinthians 14:13–15, 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, 1 Corinthians 14:4–40, Acts 2:1–4

When Holy Spirit is on our life - we have POWER, which means by definition that we have abilities, power, strength and might that we didn't have before and without Him. With Him in your life, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, without Christ you can do nothing. Part of that “Power Package,” is speaking in tongues. When Holy Spirit comes upon you, you now have the ability to communicate with a language with God, praying the will of God that you did not have in your own natural ability. Speaking with God isn’t EXTRA! Or unnecessary. Or just for certain people. IT’S BIBLICAL. We’ve wanted the power without a relationship with Him, it’s been the temptation from the beginning. But God’s desire has always been about a relationship and in His PRESENCE there is POWER.

The Power of Pentecost

May 19, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Acts 1:1–8, Acts 1:14–21, Acts 2, Luke 24:44–53, John 16:7

Our Helper! Holy Spirit! Not just with us, BUT IN US! "If I can get them scared of Holy Spirit, I will get the power out of their life." The enemy understands the dunamis power we have through Holy Spirit. He wants to keep us operating in our natural power, and not Holy Spirit's supernatural power. He wants to tame and domesticate Christians to believe that salvation is about behavior modification instead of it being about transformational power that changes them on the inside and around them. Without understanding the Feast of Pentecost, you can't move beyond Passover. We must understand Pentecost!
