Bishop Riggen identifies important areas of focus for the Apostolic Pentecostal movement in our day.

Does a miracle require the laying on of hands or the application of anointing oil for a miracle to take place? Join us as Pastor Riggen continues his discussion on, “The Purpose of Miracles in the Church.”
Do miracles serve a purpose in the church? Are they limited to physical healings? Today's Podcast is a multi-part series featuring an interview with Pastor Riggen as he discusses the miracles of salvation and deliverance.
The Prophet Joel said God would pour out His Spirit in the last days. As a result, many of us are expecting a great end-time revival. However, history has shown that revival often comes through distress. Is it possible that dark days are about to come upon the church? Pastor Riggen and his guest, Pastor Michael Roach discuss this and other topics in today’s podcast.
When a preacher’s son left his home church to serve in a church in which he was not known, what he experienced in this new church was, in his words, “life-changing.” Regardless of YOUR religious background, that same experience is still available for you today. In this week’s podcast, Pastor Riggen interviews Rev. Michael Roach for the second in his series entitled, “Passing the Torch.”
Twelve years ago, “a long-haired hippy” walked into the Truth Church, continuing to visit for a few weeks. The worship was different from that with which he was familiar, and the preaching went against all that he had been taught. The rest of this man’s story may surprise you. On today's Podcast, Pastor Riggen interviews that former "hippie" and begins a series that will allow the listeners to hear from many men to whom Pastor Riggen has passed the torch of truth through the years.
On this week’s podcast, Pastor Riggen concludes his study of three doctrines that distinctively identify an Apostolic Pentecostal church. Having already addressed the doctrine of upholding truth over tradition, and the doctrine of the Person of Jesus Christ, he moves on to the doctrine of Biblical salvation.
Last week, Pastor Riggen began identifying three important distinctive doctrines that identify an Apostolic church. On today’s podcast, he continues by addressing the second doctrine which is unique to those churches which follow the Apostles’ teachings.
It has been said that there are 30,000 different denominations in the world today. While many hold to the same basic beliefs, they divide over some small difference. With that being the case, Pastor Riggen outlines the important distinctives that should cause us to be drawn to a particular church.
When Paul met some disciples of John the Baptist, he immediately began to question them. Although the Bible calls the men believers, the questions Paul asked were probing and personal. Nevertheless, they are questions EVERY believer should be willing to answer. On today’s podcast, Pastor Riggen deals with the second of these questions, and explains why they are extremely important for believers today.

The gift of the Holy Ghost is promised to everyone and is given for a specific purpose. In order to accomplish what it is sent to do, this experience comes with the power to perform the Biblical purpose. In Part 2 of his series on the Holy Ghost, Pastor Riggen explains this purpose. He also identifies the Biblical proof that accompanies this glorious infilling.
Just before He ascended into Heaven, Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all nations and preach three things: repentance, remission of sins in His name, and the promise of the Father. What did He mean by that, and how was the Father’s promise fulfilled? On today’s episode, Pastor Riggen begins a series of studies on the gift of the Holy Ghost.
In Acts 2:21, the Apostle Peter said that “whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Inasmuch as this verse clearly states that the required action results in being saved, it is essential that we find out what exactly what it means to “call on His name.” Pastor Riggen provides the Scriptural definition to this phrase on today’s podcast.
When asked what one must do in order to find salvation, many Christians respond by saying that a person must “Accept the Lord as their Personal Savior, and they’ll be saved.” While this may be the most popular response, is it, in fact, the true, Biblical response? On today’s episode, Pastor Riggen addresses this important question.
Being converted is a glorious thing which everyone needs to experience. It should be understood, however, that true conversion is more than a one-time encounter by which a person is saved. Rather, it is an ongoing process that should not stop until we reach Heaven. On today’s podcast, Pastor Riggen concludes his study of the “Seven C’s” that surround conversion.
In Luke 22:32, Jesus spoke of Peter’s conversion as something that was still in the future, even though Peter had been the Lord’s disciple for approximately three years. Obviously, conversion is more than simply knowing the Lord. How, then, can one be converted? Are you ready to Face the Truth? In today’s podcast, Pastor Riggen identifies “Seven C’s” that surround conversion.
It seems to be a commonly held belief that faith in Christ is the only thing necessary in order for people to be saved. Is this belief, however, based on the Word of God? Is it possible that the Scriptures actually list more than a dozen things that are required for salvation? On today’s episode, you will learn of the 17 essential elements of salvation.
On this week's episode, more members of the Truth Church share testimonies of God's goodness to them in 2020. Some also express their faith in what 2021 holds for our assembly.
2020 has been a year which, for far too many, was extremely dark and difficult, and for others, chaotic and confusing. Although we have often heard it said that there is a silver lining behind every cloud, would this principle hold true for the year we’ve just experienced? Pastor Riggen and several members of the Truth Church show just how silver this year’s lining really was.
There are many titles applied to Jesus. For example, the prophet Isaiah said His name would be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace. One title, however, carries specific relevance for the Christmas Season. On today’s special Christmas Eve episode, Pastor Riggen reveals that title, and explains why it is so significant.
Christmas is a time of putting on programs and passing out presents, decorating trees and distributing toys. Nevertheless, Christ did not come into the world to provide men with new traditions, nor simply to establish yet another holiday. Why, then, DID He come? Pastor Riggen answers this question in the second half of a message entitled, “More than Mary’s Baby,” originally preached on December 24, 2011.
Each year around Christmas time, we sing songs which mention the birth of Jesus and His relationship with His mother. Have you ever considered the possibility that songs like these may be relegating the Christ-child to a position of ONLY being “Mary’s Baby?” Pastor Riggen deals with this in the first half of a message entitled, “More than Mary’s Baby,” originally preached on December 24, 2011.
The Bible does not provide the actual day of Jesus’ birth. Furthermore, many traditional Christmas celebrations have been connected to pagan forms of worship. With this in mind, Pastor addresses what our attitude should be toward celebrating Christmas on December 25.
In Matthew 12:36, Jesus said that we will one day give an account for every idle word we speak. At the same time, however, the Bible clearly offers us the promise of forgiveness. If God has truly forgiven us, why would we be called to account for our idle words? Pastor Riggen answers this question during a replay of Episode 36, originally aired on May 8, 2020
If baptism is essential for salvation, what about those who are on their deathbeds or imprisoned or in some situation where circumstances might prohibit them from being baptized? Would God require something which He knows some people may not be able to obey? Pastor Riggen answers these questions – and more – on this episode of Face the Truth.
When most Christian denominations baptize their converts, they say, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” believing that to be an act of obedience to Christ’s command in Matthew 28:19. Is it truly obedience, however, or something else? Find out in today’s podcast as Pastor Riggen continues his study of water baptism.
Colossians 3:17 says, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” For most believers, applying this verse to prayer and other acts of Christian service has never been a problem. Why, then, do many – if not MOST – of them seem unwilling to apply it to one major Biblical ordinance in particular? Find out more on today’s podcast as Pastor Riggen continues his study of water baptism.
On the Day of Pentecost, when the multitude asked about how to be saved, Peter gave the crowd a detailed response. Although the question did not specifically address the issue of infant baptism, is it possible that Peter’s answer did? Find out in today’s podcast as Pastor Riggen continues his study of water baptism.
Most Christians are well aware that Adam’s wife, Eve, was created from a rib taken from his side. What they may NOT be aware of, however, is how that particular fact serves as a beautiful illustration concerning Christ and the Church. On today’s podcast, Pastor Riggen shows how this well known Bible story helps prove an essential New Testament doctrine.
While on the cross, Jesus cried, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” To some, this clearly shows one member of the Godhead being forsaken by another. As Pastor Riggen shows through closer examination, however, there is something entirely different going on.
The Bible states that when Jesus was baptized, the Father spoke from Heaven and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove. Does this passage prove that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead? Pastor Riggen addresses this question and more in today’s episode.
Many people know about the Love of God based on John 3:16, which tells us, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.” Not nearly as many, however, know the true depth of that love, as described in I John 3:16. Find out how this verse greatly enhances the other as Pastor Riggen continues his study of the Godhead.
In dealing with the subject of the Lord’s return, the Bible says the Father knows the day but the Son does not. Does this statement help or hurt the traditional teachings of the Trinity? The answer is found in today’s podcast as Pastor Riggen continues his study of the Godhead.
It is commonly believed that Jesus is the “Second Person in the Godhead.” We should ask ourselves, however, whether this position is based on sound Biblical principles. In fact, we should further ask ourselves whether Jesus is even IN the Godhead. In today’s podcast, Pastor Riggen addresses this as he expounds on the fourth principle needed to understand the Godhead.
Perhaps one of the most often quoted scriptures is John 3:16, which says that God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son. Is it possible that this well-known verse holds an overlooked truth that contradicts the doctrine of many who revere it? Listen as Pastor Riggen addresses the Biblical identity of the Son of God.
Many Christians today identify God the Father as the First of three Divine Persons in the Godhead. To them, this is a fundamental truth about which there is no debate. In this episode, Pastor Riggen uses the words of Jesus to explain exactly Who and What God is.
In last week’s podcast, Pastor Riggen promised to share with our listeners four Biblical principles with completely and thoroughly explain the doctrine of the Godhead. Today’s episode is a discussion of the first of those principles. To order Pastor Riggen’s book, “Understanding the Godhead,” visit newlifepc.com/resources.
In this episode of “Face the Truth,” Pastor Riggen begins an in-depth study of the Godhead – a subject about which he has preached and taught many times.

In today’s episode, we conclude our study of the gifts of the Spirit by examining the three gifts of Inspiration – divers kinds of tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy.
Our podcast today continues our study of the gifts of the Spirit. Pastor Riggen specifically focuses on the three gifts of Power – faith, the gifts of healing, and the working of miracles.
As we continue our study of the gifts of the Spirit, today’s podcast focuses on the three gifts of revelation. These gifts provide the divine ability to know. They are the gifts of a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, and the discerning of spirits.
Perhaps one of the most important things needed in the church today is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be very little teaching on the subject. Listen as Pastor Riggen introduces this essential topic and discusses just how important it really is.
Today’s podcast brings to a close the study on the Fruit of the Spirit. Listen as Pastor Riggen talks about temperance by using an analogy from the sports arena that might surprise you.
While most of the world considers “meekness” a form of weakness, the Scriptures paint a totally different picture. In today’s study of the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor Riggen explains the Biblical idea behind this aspect of Spiritual Fruit.
As we are continuing our study of the Fruit of the Spirit, we have come to the aspect which the King James Version of the Bible calls “faith.” A closer look at this term, however, shows something much deeper. On this podcast, Pastor Riggen provides not only the true meaning of the word, but just how important this particular quality is in the life of a Christian.
In our ongoing discussion of the nine Biblical aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit, we come today to the topic of goodness. Listen as Pastor Riggen not only defines what “goodness” is, but also shows how God has promised special blessings to those in whose life it is found.
Although some may think of gentleness as softness or perhaps even weakness, the Scriptural concept behind this term is something much different. Today, Pastor Riggen discusses the “gentleness” aspect of the Fruit of the Spirit, showing three different ways it is manifest in the lives of the believers.
As we continue to examine the Fruit of the Spirit, today’s podcast deals with longsuffering. To address this, Pastor Riggen examines an important parable found in Matthew’s gospel.
