Clawson With Josh Poage

In this message, Pastor Mike Benson speaks about Renewed Passion — what it looks like, how it fades, and what God wants us to do to regain it. Drawing from Revelation 2:1‑7, he points out how the church at Ephesus was strong in many ways (dedicated, doctrinally sound, durable), yet had left their first love.You’ll hear three instructions from Jesus on how to recover lost passion: Remember, Repent, and Return. If you’ve ever felt distant, lukewarm, or unsure in your walk with God — especially if “doing” for Him has replaced “being” with Him — this sermon is especially for you.

In tonight's study, Pastor Kevin walks through Acts chapters 2 to 4, unpacking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the explosive growth of the early church, and the unwavering commitment of the apostles to the doctrine of Christ.

Pastor Kevin emphasized that doctrine is simply what we believe—and what we believe shapes how we live. Knowing the Bible is essential to knowing God and walking in truth.The Power of Pentecost Reveals God's Plan for All BelieversThe events of Acts 2 — the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, 3,000 salvations, and the alignment with Old Testament feasts — were not random. They were part of God’s divine plan. Just as the law was given on Mount Sina

In this week’s study, Pastor Kevin discusses Acts chapter 2, diving deep into the moment the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church during the Feast of Pentecost.
