Our services are an experience - an interaction - with the living, dynamic, sovereign Savior of the universe.
While we do have form and structure in our church services, we also yield to moving the Holy Spirit.
Here's a clip of Pastor Boettcher's message from a few weeks ago. It wasn't just hype, there was a strong feeling of God's anointing in the room:
(This is my first time using You Tube so not sure why it's sideways... SORRY)
The Holy Bible tells us that after Jesus Christ ascended up to Heaven He told His disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait until the Comforter came. Acts chapter 2 records what happened:
"When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force—no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them." (Read all of Acts 2 here)
The people at Jerusalem had just witnessed the 120 believers speaking in a language they did not know - a heavenly God ordained language - and so they asked the Apostle Peter what to do:
"Peter said, "Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is targeted to you and your children, but also to all who are far away—whomever, in fact, our Master God invites."
And the people did just that. Acts 2:41 says that 3,000 people were baptized that very day!
God blessed them and their efforts and soon many signs and miracles started to happen.
Acts 8:14 sums up the kinds of things that happened after the believing Christians had recieved the Holy Ghost and been baptized in Jesus Name.
"Philip proclaimed the Message of the Messiah. When the people heard what he had to say and saw the miracles, the clear signs of God's action, they hung on his every word. Many who could neither stand nor walk were healed that day. The evil spirits protested loudly as they were sent on their way. And what joy in the city!"
If you are looking for a miracle you've come to the right place!
