Tongues of Fire – Part 9

In this episode, Greg explains that all fire produces light! Similarly, when "tongues of fire" suddenly appeared in the Upper Room, light came with them. Spiritual light! Supernatural light! Divine light! Unconquerable light! Specifically, that light was the light of truth – which frees us from all deception; the light of the Father – making known to us in terms we could understand exactly who and all the Father is; the light of salvation – definitively answering for us the most important question in life, how we may be eternally saved and not lost; the light of divine guidance – the immense privilege of having God Almighty personally guide our steps in life by His Holy Spirit, who always marks out a path for us with consummate love and wisdom. Listen and learn, and then let this light enlighten your heart, your life, and your legacy so it will shine the message and way of the Light of the World brightly to all who follow you.

Tongues of Fire – Part 8

Ah, fiery passion for God . . . the proverbial burning heart . . . red hot coals of burning zeal for Christ, isn't this the ideal? The way it should be? So we never fall into the terrible spiritual and moral lukewarmness Christ condemned in the Laodiceans twenty centuries ago? For this, we must answer some key questions. Will fire continue burning hot, or even warm, if not attended? Or do we simply light a fire and that's it? Is fire indeed self-sustaining? Well, as in nature, so in grace, our heart fires of devotion to Christ, after being initially ignited, will not burn hot with love for Christ and the things of Him ad infinitum. No, not at all. We must feed, nurture, and sustain the fires of devotion that burn in our hearts. In this segment, Dr. Hinnant explains when, how, and with what we feed the wonderful fires of devotion to our Lord that were lit the day we received Him as our Lord and Savior; and lit again when we received from Him the mighty Baptism with the Holy Spirit. Linger, listen, and learn the secrets of the perpetually burning heart.

Tongues of Fire – Part 7

When strange flames of fire manifested over the heads of those gathered in the Upper Room, they were forever changed. Oh, they loved and believed in Christ before that electrifying visitation, but afterwards their lives were radically changed by the full infusion of the Spirit. Those tongues of fire ignited their passion for Christ and thereafter they were blessedly driven the rest of their lives with a glowing loyalty and enthusiasm for the Nazarene. Persecution didn't quench their devotion. Were these fires of devotion self-sustaining? They were of divine origin – sent straight from the hand of Jesus – so did God design them to steadily burn regardless of how the believers lived their lives? Or was some kind of daily maintenance needed to keep the inner burning strong, hot and full of irrepressible power and joy? And did their burning hearts change their attitude toward Christ's prophesied return to earth? If so, how? Oh, my friend, you don't want to miss this episode!

Tongues of Fire – Part 6

In this episode, Greg outlines the diverse spiritual fires that began spreading out into the world from Jerusalem after the amazing, Christ-designed-and-executed outpouring of the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire: fires of devotion, of light, of rapidly spreading faith, and so forth. Was this New Testament fire something new? Or was it like previous fires manifest during the period of Law? Was it "strange fire"? Or was it the same fire that burned in the bush which Moses gazed upon and to which, captivated with wonder, he drew near? Was it the same fire that was enveloped by the cloudy pillar Israel followed in the wilderness? Or was it the very "consuming fire" of God himself? Whatever it was, it created an unrelenting intense zealousness in the apostles and the rest of the 120 who were filled by it. Download, listen, and learn. Then live what you learn!

Tongues of Fire – Part 5

In that upper room two millennia ago, the mighty Holy Spirit fell on the church with strange-yet-dynamically-productive tongues of fire. As a result, when those first believers exited that famous ecclesiastical birthing chamber, they burst out into the world on fire! It is indisputable that the source of that unquenchable spiritual burning was the "Baptism with the Holy Spirit." What is this experience? Why don't we hear more about it? Does it occur when we are water baptized? Or born-again? Or when we go through confirmation as a youth? Or receive the elements of the Lord's Supper? In this episode, Greg answers these and other crucial questions. It's time for the church of Jesus Christ worldwide to awake. Will we awake, as the first Christians did, filled with spiritual fire? Or merely a pile of old, cold, religious ashes? Listen, and make up your own mind.
