11.18.1990 PM On Being Filled with the Spirit (Acts 5:1-11)
Sunday evening service at Broken Arrow (OK) First Church of the Nazarene, November 18, 1990. While this message was preached over 30 years ago, it is quite relevant for the church today. Pastor Stipp uses the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 to point to the significance of purity and power in the church, which come from the Holy Spirit, in the role of an evangelistic church. He also highlights the role of persecution in the church.

11.11.1990 PM Ephesians 5:18-20
Sunday evening service at Broken Arrow (OK) First Church of the Nazarene, November 11, 1990. This message is short, as much of the service was filled with spontaneous testimonies and singing and prayer. It is included because it fits in the series from Ephesians 5. The message opens with an apology. Pastor Stipp was his own worst critic, and he apologizes for his shortcomings in speaking and preaching; however, many would say that is what made his messages relatable and down to earth. The message from Ephesians 5:18-20 discusses the significance of singing and praising as part of being filled with the Spirit.

It begins with a review of that sermon, with the six "p's" of imitating God. Rev. Stipp then talks about three areas of living according to God's will: in our walk, our time, and our understanding.
