The Holy Spirit and his gifts

The Holy Spirit and his gifts (1)

How He enables his church for works of service In the early morning of New Yeas Day 1901 a group of Bible students came together, earnestly seeking to experience the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, hoping for something amazing.

Why is Communion necessary?

There is with some Christians the idea that the sacraments are not important. Some parents would withhold the sacrament of baptism from their children for reasons pure human and not in accordance with the Word of God.
