CONFESSION

"I thank God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was His idea to empower me and to allow me to be filled with His Spirit. I believe that it is for me today and I receive a fresh re-filling. I am full to overflowing with the Holy Spirit to the very extent that I am controlled by Him!"

Weekly Scripture

Acts 1:8

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

SUNDAY's MESSAGE ONLINE NOW!

"DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS - "Baptism in the Holy Spirit"

The Word of God instructs us to earnestly desire spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts come from the God by His Spirit to us. We need to know more about the Holy Spirit and understand about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This experience is something that He leads us into and not forces upon us. There is power that God wants us to have!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS SLOWING DOWN!!

LIFE-U - NEW Session - "Foundations of Faith" - Continues each Wednesday 7 pm for 8 weeks (Jan. 6 - March 31)

For this session we will be using the Study Book - "Getting a Grip on the Basics" which you can purchase at the Church for $5.50.

PLEASE COMPLETE CHAPTERS 4 & 5 PRIOR TO CLASS

(Attendance in this course will be required for all those that desire to volunteer at Lifeway Church. It is a must that we all be on the "same page" spiritually as we move forward in growth!)

The Holy Spirit

The Church began in prayer...with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, the Head of the Church said, "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. ...But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." - Acts 1:5,8 KJV

How could we ever begin to think that we could ever do anything for the Lord without being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit?

Oh!, how we must return to the simplicity of God's plan!

We love you and pray for you daily!

-Pastors Bruce & Sheila
