The Bible places Golgotha (the “Place of the Skull”) just outside Jerusalem’s walls in the first century context, but its name, meaning, and significance invite deeper reflection. Let’s walk through the Gospel accounts, understand why...
When the Holy Spirit indwells a believer, God does not give a portion or an influence but His full presence. This study examines how the Spirit comes to live in us, affirms His personal nature, and transforms us from the inside out. The Holy Spirit Is a Person, Not...
