Why Do We Keep Pentecost?
Size: 12.8 mb | Length: 36 minutes (Part 2)
Why is it impossible for man to keep the law of God? Why are we told that we are all sinners, and that there is no one who is righteous and seeks after God? Is there no hope for us? Or is there a way to live a life which is pleasing to God? Why did God give the Holy Spirit to His Church on the Day of Pentecost? Can this lead to a fundamental change within the carnal and natural man who is sold under sin? And if so, how exactly can and must this change occur?
A Vision
In life we come to points that are a little ambiguous at times. Which way do we go ? What path do we take? In order to have a firm understanding and direction, it requires us having a vision. Something that we can work towards. Something that inspires and drives us forward to accomplish great things. What is our vision today?
Comfort and Encouragement
When we suffer, we must always remember that God does not forget our tears. Even when we are severely tested, God is there to help us. God wants to give us comfort and encouragement, as well as peace and tranquility; He has compassion for those who mourn and who are brokenhearted. The book of Ruth gives us an important understanding as to how the merciful God works in our lives.
Obedience to the Faith
We often learn lessons about obedience and lessons about faith, but what about “obedience to the faith”? What does this phrase mean? How is the practice of obedience affected by faith? How does the exercise of faith change when considered in the context of obedience? Living our lives in a way that is acceptable to God depends on understanding the answers to these questions.

Why Are There Races and Nations?
Nations rise and fall—is that merely the result of blind fate? Or is there a great purpose being worked out by God for ALL of His creation? Is God actually guiding the eventual outcome of man’s activities among the many races and nations?
Simplify
Choosing to simplify our lives can be a difficult thing. The world offers a pursuit of more, but a Christian life is one that aims to remove distractions and focus on one very important thing – committing our life to the glorification of God.
What To Believe
With so many news sources, and ways to find out information how can we know what is real? How do we process and sort through vast quantities of information and come away with anything tangible. How do we tie this in with the Bible and what we believe that it says about the future?
How Long Has God Been Working with You?
How does God work in your life, and when did He begin to do so? Was it when He called you and when you began to understand more and more of the truth? Or did God know you long before your calling, and did He influence some of your decisions prior to your calling, in order to fulfill His plan for you? And if so, what consequences might this have for you today?
