Walk in the Spirit, Part Six

Aloha and Welcome!

The conclusion of our series brings the opportunity to ask for and receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of a personal tongue or prayer language.

After today’s message @the Studio, Pastor John and his team will lay hands and pray for those interested in receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Tongues.

Walk in the Spirit, Part Five

Aloha and Welcome!

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in Tongues are two supernatural activities given to us by Jesus Christ. Because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever [Heb 13:8], we can in 2024 receive these incredible gifts from Jesus. Our message today will focus on “building ourselves up by speaking in Tongues.”

Saturday our message is available by live stream only. Pastor John will conclude this series with this challenge: “And now it’s up to us to take Him at His Word”

One of the greatest gifts available to believers is a personal prayer language or “tongues.” This oft misunderstood benefit of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit helps us to be personally strengthened and built up, as well as enhance our worship and prayer life.

Walk in the Spirit, Part Three

Aloha and Welcome!

The Bible says, “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled [Matt 5:6]. I have found that those Christians I admire most have an insatiable hunger to know and experience everything they can about Jesus. Their lives are infectious, in that they live, laugh, cry, and love deeply. They love to worship the Lord. They live to serve the people God has given them to love. And they are constantly looking for ways to talk about Jesus and lead others to Him. Now that is a great life!
