Salvation is only the beginning—there’s always more of God to encounter. In episode five of “The Holy Spirit,” Duane Sheriff uncovers the power of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a distinct experience beyond salvation. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, reveals Himself through many manifestations.Through Acts 2, 8, and 19, Duane shows how the Spirit works in different ways—from the new birth to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He compares these divine manifestations to the varied roles people play in each other’s lives, bringing clarity to the fullness of life in the Spirit.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Bible verses in Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Acts teach that there are multiple baptisms, not just one. In episode four of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches the significance of each baptism, describing how the Holy Spirit, water, and Jesus each facilitate a distinct baptism. Under the new covenant, there are three distinct baptisms. First, the Holy Spirit baptizes us into the body of Christ, symbolizing our entry into the Christian faith. The second baptism is a water baptism performed by church leaders, serving as a public declaration of one's faith. The third baptism occurs when Jesus baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, enabling us to experience His power more fully.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Discover the life-changing power of thanksgiving—a spiritual law woven throughout Scripture that determines whether we progress or decline in our walk with God. In “The Law of Thanksgiving,” Duane Sheriff teaches that gratitude magnifies God, strengthens our faith, and reframes our circumstances. It is how we enter His presence, honor His goodness, and resist the cultural pressures that distort truth and elevate emotions above Scripture. Thanksgiving is not just a response but a spiritual force we must model and pass on to the next generation, anchoring their hearts in truth while the world around them grows increasingly confused.Our faith weakens quickly when we stop thanking God, and our confidence returns just as quickly when gratitude is restored. Duane addresses today's cultural shift toward entitlement, deception, and even a reprobate mind—revealing that the journey away from God begins with something as subtle as an unthankful heart. In a culture spiraling into darkness, thanksgiving keeps us—and our children—rooted in truth, grounded in faith, and steady in the goodness of God.

In episode three of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff explores the two roles of the Holy Spirit, using metaphors of a well and a river to illustrate His ministries. In John 4, Jesus offers the Samaritan woman "living water," symbolizing a personal well of living water within believers that springs up to eternal life. This well represents salvation and a personal relationship with God.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/In John 7, Jesus promises something more for believers - a "river" of living water flowing out of them. Unlike a well that serves believers personally, a river has power and flows outward to bless others. This river represents the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a separate experience from salvation.A well meets spiritual needs, while a river empowers believers to minister to others. Every believer has the well, but God wants to provide a river too - His supernatural power flowing through them to touch the world around them.

What is the unpardonable sin? In episode two of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches the three major functions Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would fulfill when He came. According to John 16, the Holy Spirit is our helper sent to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction of sin isn't about individual transgressions, but rather the sin of unbelief in Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals our righteousness through faith in Jesus' resurrection, freeing us from the burden of earning our salvation. Finally, the Holy Spirit convicts of judgment, revealing that the devil has been defeated and judged.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

There is a difference between receiving Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Godhead, equal with God the Father and Jesus Christ. In a new series, "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches that the Holy Spirit is not just a force, but a divine person with a crucial role in our spiritual lives.For too long, the Holy Spirit has been misunderstood as a mystical energy or a secondary member of the Trinity. However, Scripture reveals that He is fully God, sent by Jesus to lead and guide us into all truth. Episode one will deepen your understanding and empower you to embrace the Holy Spirit's role as your guide, comforter, and advocate in this journey of life.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday tradition—it is a fundamental law in God's kingdom. In the message "Thanksgiving," Duane Sheriff teaches that Scripture reveals a powerful spiritual principle: whatever we are thankful for, we retain and increase, but whatever we become unthankful for, we eventually lose. Colossians 3 places thanksgiving alongside peace, love, and forgiveness as essential to the Christian life, while Romans 1 warns that an unthankful heart is the first step toward apostasy and a corrupted mind. When people knew God but refused to glorify Him or give thanks, their hearts became darkened.Thanksgiving, then, becomes a spiritual safeguard—preserving our faith, protecting our hearts, and anchoring us in the knowledge of God. It is also a legacy we pass to our children, teaching them to recognize the freedoms, blessings, and daily graces they easily overlook. When we enter God's gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, we activate our faith and position ourselves to walk in the fullness of His blessings.

In the final episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff concludes his teaching on the Parable of the Sower from Mark Chapter 4, reviewing the four types of ground which represent the conditions of our hearts. Jesus called this parable foundational. By understanding this parable, we can connect with other biblical truths.The Word of God, as seed, faces hurdles in bearing fruit due to hardened hearts, offense from tribulation, and life's distractions such as worry and the deceitfulness of riches. Satan's deliberate strategy is to steal God's Word from our hearts. Be quick to repent from sin to keep our hearts soft, guard against offense that opens the door for the enemy, and cast our cares upon the Lord. When we cultivate good ground—hearts that hear, accept, and act on God's Word—we can expect a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold return on God's precious seed.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the twelfth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches on the parable of the sower, explaining the four types of ground where God's Word can be sown and Satan's specific strategies to steal the seed from each type of heart.The wayside ground represents hard-packed soil, similar to how sin hardens our hearts through deception. Satan steals the Word immediately by sowing confusion and lack of understanding. Stony ground refers to those who initially receive God's Word with joy but don't allow it to take root. Satan attacks through tribulation and persecution, leading to offense and causing them to abandon the seed. His primary tactic is to uproot good seed and replace it with bitterness. Thorny ground is choked by the cares of this world. Even powerful seeds cannot produce a fruitful harvest when competing with worries and worldly distractions.Guard your heart against the enemy's tactics by becoming good ground, soil that receives God's Word, takes deep root, and produces an abundant harvest of thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the eleventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that Jesus' parable of the sower from Mark chapter 4 is not just a story, but a key that unlocks our understanding of how God's Word works in our lives. The Kingdom of God operates on the principle of seedtime and harvest. God's Word is seed, and our hearts are the soil.This foundational parable is the most important one Jesus ever taught. How we receive and nurture God's Word determines the fruit we bear in our lives. There are four types of ground where seed can fall - the wayside, stony ground, thorny ground, and good ground.Satan seeks to steal God's Word before it can take root and bear fruit. If our hearts are like the wayside, the enemy will quickly snatch away the Word before we can fully understand it. But if we have a receptive heart and good soil, God's truth will take deep root and produce a bountiful harvest.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries
