In Matthew 28, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth. In that same passage, He passed the baton of authority on to us as believers. All of us as believers should be walking in Jesus' authority. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon in Mark 9, Jesus called them an unbelieving and perverse generation. Could it be that Jesus' frustration towards us comes from our lack in doing the same things He did when He walked on the earth?

Do you have moody faith? Faith in its fullest form does not depend on your feelings. It comes from your spirit. When it seems like your faith is not working, when all hope is lost, that is when it matters most that you keep believing God. When all hope seemed lost for Jairus and his daughter, Jesus told him to keep believing. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spoke their faith even in the face of the fiery furnace, and God delivered them unharmed. Faith, faithfulness, and trust are layers that God is building into your life to deliver you no matter what you are facing.

God is looking for people on earth whose lives produce results. Smith Wigglesworth's life produced results from heaven like few others in all of history. What was his secret? How did he pull God's will from heaven to earth?

When the world goes through a very intense time, are you ready for it? We are living in unstable times. No one seems to know for sure what is going to happen next. Do God's promises work in the worst of times? Even in the middle of a war. Or are God's promises only for the good times and the "safe" locations? Most people are content to survive bad times, but there is a special group of people that God has called to thrive in the worst times. Overcomers.

What would happen if the Church stopped settling for “good enough” and started living fully surrendered to Jesus?In this message, we're challenged with a hard reality: if current trends continue, fewer and fewer people will identify as Christians in the next couple generations—not because Jesus isn't worth following, but because many don't see believers living with the love, grace, sacrifice, and obedience that looks like Jesus.This teaching calls us back to the heart of God:“The Lord is patient… not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)We look atWhy God's “delay” is actually mercyWhat the early church looked like when they were encouraged by the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:31)Why healthy churches don't just gather… they growThe difference between simply identifying as Christian vs. actually following JesusThe Great Commission: Go. Make disciples. Baptize. Teach. (Matthew 28:19–20)How boldness and obedience marked the apostles—even after being beaten (Acts 5)We close with a clear invitation: surrender your life to Christ, step into obedience, and be the kind of church God uses to reach people—right here, and to the ends of the earth.

So the question is, what mode of baptism is valid?  And the other question is, who should be doing the baptism?  Craig and Troy continue the discussion on how God uses water to do such great things.

Do you test out theories with God? Do you take risks to see if He will come through? God might want to bring your theory, the question you are asking, into reality. There is no question we ask God that He won't answer. If we seek Him, it is a guarantee we will find Him. If we ask, it is guaranteed that He will answer, and when we knock, it is guaranteed He will open the door. Do you have an assignment in proving theories? Sometimes you have to not know what you are doing to be crazy enough to do what God is wanting done.

Is there a spirit behind your problems that you aren't discerning? Sabotage is a spirit that works undercover. It works to make you the victim and perpetrator. Where you are unknowingly causing the very problem you are a victim to. God is a good God. It is His nature to give, so if there is good being withheld from you, ask God what you are doing to sabotage it and how you can defeat the spirit of sabotage.

Acts 21:37-22:21  As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek? 38 Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?" 39 Paul replied, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. I beg you, permit me to speak to the people." 40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying: 22 "Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you." 2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. And he said: 3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as all of you are this day. 4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women, 5 as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished. 6 "As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me. 7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' 8 And I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.' 9 Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me. 10 And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.' 11 And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus. 12 "And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, 13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' And at that very hour I received my sight and saw him. 14 And he said, 'The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth; 15 for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.' 17 "When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance 18 and saw him saying to me, 'Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.' 19 And I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you. 20 And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.' 21 And he said to me, 'Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"   Key Words: Defense, Persecute, Light, Lord, Sight, Witness, Righteous One, Baptize, Sins Keystone Verses: For you will be a witness for Him to everyone of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on His name. (Acts 22:15-16) Download Bulletin

We are all a product of what has been blessed and cursed in our family lines. In Exodus 20:5-6 it says, the blessing of those who love God goes for a thousand generations, but the iniquity of the fathers goes to the children of the third and the fourth generations. The good news is you don't have to continue to live under the curse of past generations. The blood of Jesus has given each of us a choice. We can either passively continue living under the curse or break the power of the curse with the authority we have been given. Your choice will set the course for the next generations.

Great callings come with great passion. It was Jesus' compassion for the people that caused Him to do miracles. And the reality of heaven and hell should stir us to do something to reach the lost. We tend to suppress passion because we don't think God likes extremes, but truly He wants us either hot or cold, all the way in or all the way out, never lukewarm. It is the passionate, those who are on fire, who get things done for the kingdom of God.
