The baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at the point of your salvation in Christ. But the filling of the Holy Spirit, that’s a separate experience. Today, Ron explains the difference between being baptized by the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. If that sounds a little perplexing, stick around, Ron is about to clear up any confusion you may have.  

The birth of the world and the birth of Jesus Christ are two of the most dramatic events in human history. We’ll add one more to the list today. Today Ron takes us to Acts chapter two, and to one of the most amazing scenes in all of Scripture.  

Are you waiting on an answer from God today? How much have you talked to Him about it? Well, you can make a list of pros and cons. You can talk to a pastor, a friend or a spouse. But unless you’re spending a healthy amount of time in prayer, any decision you make will be something of a gamble. Ron talks about the power of prayer today as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”  

When you read the book of Acts, you can’t help but notice all the good things the disciples of Christ were doing to launch the church and help it grow. But behind it all was a commitment to prayer. Prayer set the foundation for everything the early church was able to accomplish. Ron talks about this essential ingredient today as he continues his series, “AD: The Acts of the Apostles.”   

You don’t have to be a pastor or an evangelist to be a witness for Christ. Are you comfortable sharing your faith, or does it make you a little uneasy? Today Ron reminds us that we’ve not only been called to be witnesses for Christ, we’ve been equipped to fulfill that calling.  

We’ve got a real treat for you today, as Ron launches a brand new series called, “A.D. Acts of the Apostles,” which will take us back to the very beginning of the church. How it got started. How it grew. We kick things off today with a two-part message about the way Jesus revolutionized the world and laid the foundation for what we now call the church age. 

Whoever loves money never has enough. Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. Those words of wisdom came from Solomon, in Ecclesiastes chapter five verse ten. Today, Ron explains how the love of money can wreak havoc in our relationship with God. It’s the final installment of his series, “His Money, Your Faith,” and it starts right now.  

Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Today Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith,” by asking a simple yet profound question, "Where is your heart?" You’ll find it by looking at where your treasure is. 

Have you fallen into the debt trap today? If you’d like to get out but don’t know how, you’ve come to the right place. Today Ron shares five practical steps to getting out of debt. They aren’t easy, but they are doable. And let’s face it, no matter how hard getting out of debt may be, it’s far easier than staying in it. 

Today Ron takes us to an all too familiar problem in our culture, consumer debt. So many people are struggling to make ends meet, and part of the problem is they’ve made a bad choice or two and found themselves enslaved to debt. How can you get debt free? What is God’s plan for your finances?  

When you look at your bank account, it may seem like you can’t afford to tithe. The truth is, you can’t afford not to. Today Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith” by giving us an in-depth look at God’s financial plan, what Ron calls the ten-ten-eighty plan. It’s biblical, it’s practical, and it’s essential, not only for your financial health, but for your spiritual health as well.  

There are over two thousand verses in Scripture that have to do with money. If it’s that important to God, it should be equally important to us. God’s Word offers us several principles to help keep us from becoming slaves to debt. As Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith” today, he’ll talk about some of the keys to handling money God’s way, and he’ll remind us that financial freedom is not the only kind of freedom God offers us.  

The Bible contains more than two thousand verses about money, so clearly this is an important subject to God. Money can often distract us from doing God’s will, and it has the potential to enslave us if we’re not careful. Today Ron shares three keys to managing our finances God’s way as he continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith.” 

When Pontius Pilate told Jesus that he had the authority to set Him free, Jesus said, “You would have no authority at all unless it was given to you from above.” Today Ron reminds us that nothing we have is ours. We are stewards, not owners, of our money, our time, our talents. And when we learn to use our resources God’s way, we’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
