What does the Assemblies of God believe about divine healing?
The Assemblies of God believes divine healing is provided in the Atonement and is a privilege for all believers, meaning God still heals today through prayer, by the power of the Holy Spirit, because of what Jesus did on the cross. We seek healing with faith, follow Scripture (especially James 5:14–16), and also value wise medical care, because God is the Healer, even when He uses doctors. Why this matters in the 901: sickness, pain, and anxiety about our bodies hit every hom

What is the Trinity? (Understanding the Nature of God)
The Trinity is the Christian belief that there is only one God, who exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While the word "Trinity" isn't found in the Bible, the concept is woven throughout Scripture. It describes a God who is perfectly united in essence but three in person: a beautiful mystery of infinite love and divine community. Bible Verses on the Trinity "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, bapt

Knowing the Creator: The One True God
When people say “God,” they can mean a lot of different things. A higher power. A spiritual force. A personal idea of meaning. A family tradition. But Scripture is clear: there is one true God : the real Creator, the real Lord, the real Savior: who has made Himself known. And here’s the good news: you don’t have to guess what He’s like. You can know Him. This post is a simple, Bible-based look at who the one true God is: aligned with the Assemblies of God (AG) 16 Fundamental

The Blessed Hope: Looking Forward to Christ's Return
What Christians Mean by “The Blessed Hope” The phrase “the Blessed Hope” comes straight from Scripture: “…while we wait for the blessed hope: the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13) In plain language, it means this: Jesus is coming back. And that promise isn’t meant to scare us: it’s meant to steady us . “Hope” in the Bible isn’t wishful thinking. It’s confidence built on God’s character and God’s Word. And “blessed” means this ho

Hey there, family! Layne McDonald here from Boundless Online Church. If you’ve ever felt like your living room is a circus and you’re just the weary ringmaster trying to find a Bible under a mountain of unfolded laundry: take a deep breath. You’re in good company.
