Back to the Basics (Part 6): The Baptism of the Holy Ghostđ Acts 19:1â6Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?In this powerful message, Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us back to the basicsâto rediscover one of the most essential and often misunderstood foundations of Pentecostal faith: The Baptism of the Holy Ghost.In a generation that has heard about the Holy Spirit but not truly experienced His power, this message calls us to return to the fire, the fullness, and the freedom that the early church walked in.From Acts 19 to Acts 2, Pastor Andrew explores the difference between the indwelling of the Spirit at salvation and the baptism of the Spirit for empowerment. Every believer receives the Spirit when they are born againâbut there is a second work of grace, a divine infilling that endues us with power from on high!This message will:đĽ Clarify the difference between indwelling and infilling.đĽ Teach the biblical evidence of the baptism â speaking in tongues.đĽ Refute the idea that tongues and gifts have ceased.đĽ Show how to operate in order and discernment when gifts are in use.đĽ Invite every believer to seek a personal Pentecost at the altar.âAt salvation, the Spirit is resident.At baptism, the Spirit becomes president.âYouâll hear how the Holy Ghost transforms ordinary believers into extraordinary witnessesâjust like Peter, who went from denying Christ to declaring Him boldly before thousands.This is more than a doctrine. Itâs a life-changing encounter.Whether youâve been walking with the Lord for years or youâre new to faith, this message will reignite your hunger to say:âLord, send the fire again!âđ Message DetailsSeries: Back to the Basics (Part 6)Title: The Baptism of the Holy GhostSpeaker: Pastor Andrew EldridgeScripture Text: Acts 19:1â6Location: Shady Grove Church â Soddy-Daisy, TN⸝đŹ If this message blesses you:â Like, Comment, and Subscribeâ Share this message with someone hungry for more of Godâ Connect with us online @ [church website or Facebook page if applicable]

đĽ Revival doesnât end at the altarâitâs sustained in the Word.This week, Pastor Andrew continues our Back to the Basics series with a powerful call to return to the foundation of all spiritual life: the Word of God.Weâve shouted, cried, and worshipedâbut if revival doesnât drive us deeper into Godâs Word, it becomes a memory instead of a movement. In this message, Pastor Andrew reminds us that the Bible is not on trial in our generation⌠our generation is on trial before the Bible.đ Key Message Themes:The Word of God is perfect, unchanging, and infallibleâit doesnât evolve to fit culture; culture must bow to it.The Word is our lamp and our pathâguiding us through confusion, fear, temptation, and decisions.The Word builds and strengthens usâproducing maturity, stability, and spiritual resilience.The Word worksâit creates, convicts, and accomplishes what God intends.The Word must be obeyed, not just admiredâbecause faith without application fades.đż Scripture References (NKJV):Psalm 119:89â90 ⢠Romans 12:2 ⢠Isaiah 40:8 ⢠John 1:1â14 ⢠2 Timothy 3:16â17 ⢠Hebrews 13:8 ⢠Matthew 5:17â18 ⢠Psalm 119:105 ⢠Isaiah 30:21 ⢠Philippians 4:6â7 ⢠1 Peter 2:2 ⢠Isaiah 55:10â11 ⢠James 1:22â25 and more.đĄ Key Quote:âEmotion can spark you, but only the Word can sustain you.âđ Practical Challenge:30-Day Word Plan: Read one Psalm + 10 verses from the Gospels daily. Journal one truth and one next step.Family Scripture at the Table: Read a verse before dinner; ask, âWhat does this show about God? What will we do with it?âSword-in-Hand Sundays: Share how a verse guided your week.đŻ Takeaway:If His Word is settled in heaven, let it be settled in your heart.If His Word is unchanging, let it be your standard.If His Word is living, let it shape your life.đ Join us as we go Back to the Wordâwhere true revival is sustained, lives are transformed, and the church becomes unshakable.âđ Shady Grove Church | Soddy-Daisy, TNđ¤ Pastor: Andrew EldridgeđŹ Subscribe for weekly messages that build faith, strengthen families, and awaken hearts.#BackToTheBasics #BackToTheWord #ShadyGroveChurch #Revival #Faith #Bible #Sermon #Jesus #Scripture #Discipleship #ChristianLiving

Faith is where it all begins. From the moment God called Abraham to leave everything familiar and step into the unknown, the life of faith was born. Today, the Spirit of the Lord is calling us back to the foundation of our walk with Him â a life built on complete trust and confidence in God.In this message, Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us through the story of Abraham â the Father of Faith â to remind us that: ⢠Faith begins with a call. God speaks first, and we respond. ⢠Faith requires leaving in order to receive. Sometimes you must step out of whatâs comfortable to walk into whatâs promised. ⢠Faith looks forward. God rarely shows us the whole picture, but He always gives us His word. ⢠Faith obeys. True faith moves â it acts on what God has said, even when you donât have all the answers. ⢠Faith grows. Abrahamâs journey wasnât perfect, but he kept walking â and so must we. ⢠Faith points us to Christ. The same faith that was counted to Abraham as righteousness is now fulfilled in Jesus.đ Key Scriptures:Genesis 12:1â4 | Hebrews 11:8â10 | Romans 4:20â21 | 2 Corinthians 5:7 | Hebrews 11:1, 6 | Proverbs 3:5â6đľ Worship with us and be strengthened to walk by faith, not by sight.đ Shady Grove Church â Soddy Daisy, TNđ Pastor Andrew EldridgeđŹ Subscribe for more messages that inspire faith, stir revival, and call believers back to their first love â Jesus Christ.#Faith #Abraham #WalkingInFaith #BibleStudy #ChristianSermon #FaithInGod #Genesis12 #ShadyGroveChurch

When most people hear witchcraft, they think of witches, cauldrons, spells, and Halloween. But the Bible reveals something far deeperâand far more dangerous. Witchcraft isnât just about the occult; it is a spirit of manipulation, rebellion, and counterfeit spirituality that seeks to infiltrate even the church.In this in-depth study, Pastor Andrew unpacks what Scripture really teaches about witchcraft, sorcery, and control. Together, weâll look at:đ What witchcraft is (Galatians 5, Deuteronomy 18, Acts 16)đ How it operatesâthrough manipulation, control, rebellion, and counterfeit powerđ How even believers can unknowingly fall into itđ How to walk in freedom through Christâs authorityThis message is both a warning and a call to discernment. The enemy seeks to control, but the Spirit of the Lord brings freedom.đ Donât miss this eye-opening teaching that will equip you to recognize and overcome the spirit of witchcraft in todayâs worldâand even within the church.đ Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:19â22, 1 Samuel 15:23, Deuteronomy 18:10â12, Acts 16:16, 2 Corinthians 3:17đ If this message blesses you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected for more teachings.

Who is Godâreally? Not just who He is to you, but who He declares Himself to be in His Word. In this message from 2 Peter 3:18, Pastor Andrew calls us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Too many believers stop at âJesus is my Saviorâ and never go deeper. But Scripture urges us to study, to know His character, and to let Him reveal Himselfânot to create our own definition. đ Key Themes from the Message: ⢠The urgent call to grow in knowing God (2 Peter 3:18, 2 Timothy 2:15) ⢠Why a shallow view of God leads to cultural confusion and New-Age ideas ⢠Startling stats: Only 19% of Christians read the Bible daily, and 25% say they believe only in a vague âhigher power.â ⢠Six unchanging truths about Godâs nature: 1. Holy â Revelation 4:8, 1 Peter 1:15â16 2. Omnipotent (All-Powerful) â Jeremiah 32:17, Luke 1:37 3. Omnipresent (Everywhere Present) â Psalm 139:7, Jeremiah 23:24 4. Omniscient (All-Knowing) â Hebrews 4:13, Psalm 139:1â2 5. Immutable (Unchanging) â Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8 6. Love â 1 John 4:7â10 đĄÂ

In this Sundayâs message, Pastor Andrew preaches from Song of Solomon 2:8â13 on the call of the Bridegroom to His bride: âRise up, My love, My fair one, and come away.âThe Song of Solomon may seem like just a love story between a man and a woman, but Paul reminds us: âfirst the natural, then the spiritualâ (1 Corinthians 15:46). Spiritually, this passage paints a powerful picture of Christ and His church. Just as the Bridegroom calls His bride, Jesus is calling His people today into intimacy with Him.In this message, Pastor Andrew challenges us with three calls:1ď¸âŁ Come away from the world â We cannot cling to the world and still pursue the presence of Christ.2ď¸âŁ Come away from religion â God is after relationship, not ritual.3ď¸âŁ Come away to the secret place â Beyond separation, Christ invites us into deep intimacy with Him.The season is changing. Winter is past. Flowers are appearing. The voice of the Beloved is calling: âRise up, My love, and come away.âđ Key Scriptures:Song of Solomon 2:8â14Isaiah 6:1â5Romans 6:1â21 John 2:15â172 Corinthians 6:17Matthew 6:6Psalm 91:1đ Whether youâre seeking renewal in your walk with Christ, healing in your marriage, or simply longing for more of His presence, this word is for you. The Bridegroom is callingâwill you answer?

Shady Grove Church â Study in RomansThe book of Romans is one of the richest, most powerful, and most theologically profound letters in all of Scripture. Written by the Apostle Paul around A.D. 56, Romans provides a clear and orderly presentation of the gospel messageâshowing that both Jews and Gentiles alike are in need of salvation, and that justification comes by faith alone in Jesus Christ.In this video, Pastor Andrew walks through Romans chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3, where Paul addresses both Jews and Gentiles, showing that all are accountable before God. Having the Law is not enoughâwhat matters is true righteousness, which comes only through faith in Christ.Together, weâll explore:Godâs impartial judgment of Jews and Gentiles alike (Romans 2:1â29)Why outward religion or heritage cannot save usHow all humanity is guilty before God (Romans 3:1â12)The good news that justification is by faith, not by worksWeâll also draw personal application from Paulâs message, including:â Trusting Christ alone for salvationâ Rejecting self-righteousnessâ Understanding Godâs righteous judgmentâ Rejoicing in the gospel that saves both Jew and GentileRomans is more than theologyâitâs the gospel applied to everyday life. Join us as we dive deep into this life-changing book and discover the righteousness of God revealed through faith in Christ.
