What transformed the frightened disciples hiding in an upper room into bold preachers who turned the world upside down? The answer lies in a profound spiritual encounter that changed everything.

Join Lynne Little in the sixth installment of our revealing series on the Holy Spirit's ministry. We dive deep into the pivotal transition recorded in Acts, examining the remarkable events of Pentecost and their significance for believers today. Lynne carefully unpacks the distinction between the disciples' initial experience when Jesus "breathed on them" and the later dramatic outpouring that equipped them with supernatural power.

The evidence speaks for itself—when ordinary Galileans suddenly spoke languages they'd never learned, when the formerly terrified Peter stood before thousands with inexplicable eloquence, something extraordinary had occurred. Through careful biblical analysis and personal testimony, Lynne reveals why these manifestations weren't confined to ancient history but remain available to hungry hearts today.

You'll discover why many scholars believe there are two distinct experiences with the Holy Spirit described in Scripture, how the baptism in the Holy Spirit differs from salvation, and what evidence accompanied this empowerment throughout the book of Acts. Lynne's own journey with the charismatic renewal offers a relatable window into how this spiritual hunger can transform young believers.

Whether you've been following Christ for decades or are just beginning your spiritual journey, this episode will challenge you to move beyond comfortable, unremarkable Christianity into a life empowered by the same Spirit that revolutionized the early church.

Growing up is inevitable—physically and emotionally—but what about spiritually? In this thought-provoking episode, we begin our new series "Little by Little," designed to establish a foundation of Christian doctrine for believers at every stage of faith.

Have you ever wondered why Christians talk about sin nature? Or perhaps questioned the fairness of being born with an inclination toward rebellion? You're not alone. When I first encountered these concepts as a young person, they felt like personal accusations rather than spiritual truths. This episode tackles these complex questions head-on, creating clarity where confusion often reigns.

We explore the origins of sin nature in the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve's disobedience permanently altered humanity's relationship with God. This pivotal moment introduced not just physical death but spiritual separation—a condition passed down through generations. Through powerful Scripture passages from Romans and Ephesians, we examine how this innate tendency toward wrongdoing manifests in our daily lives, even when we desire to do right. As the apostle Paul laments, "I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do."

But this isn't a message of despair. The beauty of Christian doctrine lies in its coherence—every problem has a solution. Our sin nature finds its remedy in God's grace through Jesus Christ, who offers deliverance from this spiritual dilemma. Understanding these foundational truths helps us grasp why spiritual growth matters not just for us but for the entire world, which "waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."

What happens when divine power meets our human limitation? In this fifth episode of our Holy Spirit series, we uncover the remarkable partnership between mankind and the Holy Spirit beginning with the Lord Jesus as documented in the four Gospels.

The journey begins with two miraculous conceptions—Jesus through Mary and John the Baptist through Elizabeth—both orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. We examine the profound moment at Jesus's baptism when "the Spirit descended like a dove," marking the beginning of His miracle-working ministry. This raises a fascinating question: Did Jesus, though divine, deliberately choose to operate through the Spirit's power rather than His inherent divinity? The evidence suggests exactly that.

We explore how Jesus, "full of the Holy Spirit," was led into the wilderness for temptation and returned "in the power of the Spirit" to begin a ministry that would transform humanity forever. Most significantly, Christ attributes His miraculous works directly to the Spirit's anointing, declaring, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." Through careful examination of Scripture, we discover that Jesus deliberately modeled Spirit-dependence as the pathway for all believers.

The episode concludes with Jesus's extensive teachings about the Holy Spirit—how He facilitates true worship, guides believers into truth, empowers during persecution, and continues Christ's work after His ascension. This divine partnership between Jesus and the Spirit provides the blueprint for our own spiritual lives.
