The theme of this sermon is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. It covers the nature of the event, the misconceptions involved, the benefits and ramifications from it and the forces working to impede or prevent it. Our guest speaker Jamie Raath concluded with an impassioned plea for us all to be aware of what is needed and for us to strive towards receiving that baptism.
PS 1 ::::: The audio file has 2 sections. The first is the sermon. The second is the time of ministry which followed. This constituted a quiet time, then some quiet worship songs led by the band. This was followed by a brief period of prayer.
PS 2 ::::: There is a “button” labelled “Save Video” (or “Download Video” sometimes). This is actually a text-file. It is a transcript of the sermon. At present it is at an experimental stage: it is an aid to getting the most out of the sermon audio. There is no substitute for listening to the verbal delivery of a sermon. However, searching through an audio file lasting the best part of an hour can be somewhat difficult. When you approach the search knowing that you’re sure you heard something about “redemption”, for example, then a transcript text-search can take you right there! This transcript is in 2 forms (in the one file). The first half consists of bunches of 6 or 7 words beneath the TIMES at which they occur (for the whole sermon). That is followed by the normal text arrangement of paragraph-blocks.
This facility is in development (“experimental” as mentioned above) so any feedback on usefulness, improvement suggestions, or whatever, would be most welcome.
