Introduction
 Before attempting to understand today’s lesson, I want to introduce the Holy Spirit, especially to those who are unfamiliar with Him. Notice, I said “Him” by no accident.

Are the bells ringing in my life?

By Sidharth Mohandas
While Jesus was with His disciples, He made it clear to them that the Holy Spirit would not come until He [Jesus] ascended back into heaven (John 16:7). He also said that when His disciples would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, they would be witnesses unto Him (Acts 1:8). In other [...]

Jesus Himself ALONE

By Sidharth Mohandas
Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, [...]

According to…
