Theme: Fear Is From The Devil
We are all winners if we are in Christ. The christian is never to think or feel defeated. God wants us to stand and face the enemy, the devil. Right now, the biggest enemy of the church and the christian is fear. Throughout his word God tells us not to fear.
Psalm 118:6 The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
When God tells us to do something he will empower us to do it. We need to look at life through God’s eyes and not be hindered by our own abilities. When we serve God we go forward with him together and reject fear.

Theme: Do Not Leave This World Without The Power Of The Holy Ghost
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Once we receive we receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, every day will change like never before. Christ’s death, burial and resurrection is a typology, of when we receive Christ, our sinful nature is dead and buried and our new spiritual nature rises up as fresh new life.
Faith is not enough for the Christian, repentance and obedience must accompany faith and follow us throughout life. Obedience is essential, we must obey the word of God.When we choose to follow Christ we cross over onto the right line and walk therein. If we think the word of God is not important, we are gambling eternity away.
We should always seek, want and desire the baptism of the Holy Ghost- it is for us today! The Holy Ghost leads us into all truth affirming the word of God. We cannot receive power if we stay in the same old sinful nature we were born in. Ultimately the word of God is about life and death – we always make the choice!
