Have you ever noticed how easy it is to swing to extremes? For instance, if your parents were controlling and authoritative, you might be really easy going and not want to discipline, even when you need to. Well sometimes, we do the same thing when interpreting the Bible. We’re so scared of falling into error that we swing to extremes and miss the truth! So Pastor J.D. is helping us get a balanced view of a controversial topic. We’re discovering what the Bible really says about the gifts of tongues and prophecy as we wrap up our series called, Rushing Wind.

Phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart” or “give your life to Jesus” may be well intentioned, but they can often be unclear—offering false assurance to those who aren’t truly saved and causing unnecessary doubt for those who are.

Pastor J.D. explains that salvation is not a magic phrase or emotional moment. It’s a posture of trust in the promise of God, one that begins at a specific point in time and continues for the rest of our lives. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or want to share the gospel more clearly, this book, available in print or digital form, is for you.

The “gift of tongues” is one of the most confusing and controversial topics in the Bible. What does that phrase even mean? Does it mean that you speak a bunch of languages, or that you pray in a mysterious, heavenly language? And was it only a gift for the early Church, or does it still happen today? Pastor J.D. brings some clarity on this subject as he continues our study of the Holy Spirit titled, Rushing Wind.

And how is a spiritual gift any different than a natural talent? That’s our topic as Pastor J.D. continues our study of the Holy Spirit titled, Rushing Wind.

Some Christians think you can receive the Holy Spirit months or even years after you’ve been saved. They believe that when he comes, there will be a clear, outward sign, like speaking in tongues or prophesying. Others think you’re sealed with the Spirit when you’re first saved, and that’s your only experience with him! They believe in the Spirit in theory, but don’t think he really change anything in their lives. Pastor J.D. reveals that neither of those views tells the whole story! It’s part of our series called, Rushing Wind.
