19980719 Basic Biblical Beliefs - The Work Of The Spirit In Service And The Church - Rev. Tommy Jones

At the moment you become a #Christian, the #HolySpirit comes to live inside you. Now what? Are we just meant to be saved and then put on a shelf for safekeeping? No, we are to go out and be witnesses but we cannot do so under our own power. How does the Holy Spirit qualify believers to do the work of God? From where does the motivation to serve come? On whose power does our service depend? Who builds and upholds the church? Why do Believers get different gift(s)? How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit and how will that impact our worship?

20050515 Liberty In Law - Law Of Legacy - Inhibition Of Intensity - Rev. Tommy Jones

#FakeNews, #MyTruth, #Spin, #WhiteLies – what do these have in common? Is there a part of the body that becomes sharper with use? How does the Bible warn us about guarding it? What is the worth of a good reputation? Who is created in the image of God and why is that important? Most of the consequential atrocities in human history turned on the false statement of a witness. Where do lies originate? Can you get in trouble by staying silent?

Having gone through the Ten Commandments in detail, you may feel like there is no way to keep any of them, much less all of them. Why would God give us these difficult rules and a nature that is prone to stray? Next week, Brother Tommy gives the answer in the Law of Love messages. But, you can get a sneak peek by going to the Gift link on the home page.

Christ Is The Answer – How I Wish I Could Preach

20000618 Christ Is The Answer - How I Wish I Could Preach - Rev. Tommy Jones

Can a #preacher deliver an effective sermon without God’s help? #Motivational maybe, nice sounding possibly, but not one that furthers the #Kingdom of #God. What did Paul learn about preaching a clear gospel message? That should give Believers confidence to share their faith. Some people may be swayed by apologetics or defense of the Bible, but without a personal connection to Christ there can be no Salvation. That’s why your testimony is so important, because no one can argue with personal experience. Paul was obviously courageous, but what was his admitted fear? How can we lift up God in our everyday conversations? What is the danger of misplaced faith?

WITNESS BY THE LIVING GOD

Posted on November 5, 2020 by Barbara Jones

During my summer breaks from college, I worked in the police department replacing secretaries on their vacations. I was a rotating secretary to the individual head of all the divisions: Chief, Detective, Patrol, Traffic, Accidents, Juvenile , and Incarcerations! Sort of a girl Friday. It was a continuing learning experience. In the Detective Division there was an inside window with an enclosed room on the other side which always had a covering. Then one day the cover was gone. The Chief ask me to observe through the one way window as they questioned and recorded a person of interest. I would become a #witness! At the age of nineteen, I knew the validity of my responsibility. How good is your word and witness in the eyes of the LORD? “A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness utters lies” Proverbs 14:5 We hear so many views and opinions today. Sound like Job 18 “How long will it be to the end of your words: marked, counted and reputed vile…as the light of the wicked shall be put out and sparks of fire shall not shine” Who is a faithful & a true witness? “Behold MY WITNESS IS IN HEAVEN AND MY RECORD IN HIGH” Job 16:19 JESUS said, “There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true” John 5:32 Will He find us a faithful and true witness?..“If you receive ‘the witness of men, the WITNESS OF GOD IS GREATER” 1John 5:9

19750202 His Internal Ministry - The Performance Of The Holy Spirit - In Impartation, Initiation, and Implementation - Rev. Tommy Jones

Let’s talk about #Pentecost. How did it happen? When did it happen? What happened? Has it ever been repeated? Is there a difference between the event repeating and the experience being repeated? Is the Holy Spirit imparted to all believers equally? What was the significance of the signs of wind, fire, and tongues that accompanied the initiation of the Holy Spirit’s ministry on Earth? How was the Church born the day the Holy Spirit came down? What does that mean for the governance and guidance of the Church? All this power that was given to believers was meant to be implemented to witness. What proves that witnessing in our own strength is fruitless?

19801207 Winning Witnesses - The Witness' Technique - Rev. Tommy Jones

Okay, for the past several weeks we have been readying ourselves to share the #Gospel to our #friends and #neighbors. But how? Is there one way that is better than the others? While the message should be consistent, can the approach be tailored? What part of the witnessing technique always stays the same? How should a Christian approach one who is unsaved? Boldness should be balanced with what? How important is it to be sociable? What kind of analysis should we do when witnessing? What kind of analysis should we avoid? Are we not all in the same boat? Who actually convicts a person of their sin? What are 5 verses that can explain the unchangeable message that we should be sharing with others? Is that it? Or is there one more step?
