Your Web Servant — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:00:40 +0000

How can you tell if the Holy Spirit of God is speaking to you? How can you know the thought in your head is from God or from yourself?

In this message, we get real insight from the Bible on how to hear God speak to you by his Spirit.

060-03 :: Inflate Part 03 :: Breathe the Son 2

Your Web Servant — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:00:41 +0000

In this message, Pastor Jeff walks us through the most controversial claim of Christianity: that people without Jesus can have no real knowledge of God.

Even though the message recording got cut off, the power of this topic is life transforming. The last 5 minutes are especially necessary for anyone who has ever made a mistake in life.

In part two of the Inflate series Pastor Jeff gives us the reasons why Jesus is the one and only, final authoritative Word from God. No other authority can be higher than him in our lives and everything we know in the Bible needs to be seen through the lens of Jesus—his words and his example.

Responses from Sunday 2010-02-07

Pastor Jeff — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:22:18 +0000

We had a great “Commitment Sunday” this past weekend. Nearly 150 people were there, and 11 were baptized! and I want to share with you some of the responses from the people who came.

“This was a beautiful service. It does remind me of the day I was baptized. I’m so happy for all of these people.”

“It is so refreshing and encouraging to see God’s faithfulness in building His kingdom for our good and His glory! What a blessed state to walk in a manner cleansed by Jesus’ blood!”

“My prayer today is that God leads this church as a group of ‘family’ out the doors of the Long Center into the community of Lafayette to open the door to Christ to spiritually needy children and adults.”

“This reminds me of the day I was baptized and how important that was to me and how I do see that as the day that I became closer to God. I’m so glad to be a part of this service today and I am so thankful for God’s love and for all he is doing through this church.”
