What a Service!
God brings in the sheaves to FBC!
My first Sunday back to Friendship after the awesome and exciting week at Fresh Oil New Wine at Central Bapatist in Chattanooga, was awesome in itself! We had about 12 additions to the church Sunday morning, and nearly all of the congregation on their knees at the altar in both services! God is moving in a big way and I am so proud to be able to be around to see it all happen!
Is A Great Revival Coming?
One of the powerful prophetic words given at Chattanooga was that the 3rd Great Awakening is coming to America, a great revival coming to the land! I believe that and I received that word by faith. I have encouraged our people at Friendship to receive that word, NOT as a revival that is COMING, but as the revival that is HERE NOW! I believe that what we saw Sunday was the First Fruits of that great revival and I look forward to what God is going to continue to do in our midst!
NewComer's Class
We are going to begin this Sunday morning at 10 during the Sunday School hour, a NewComer's Class for those who have joined Friendship or who are interested in joinging. It will be a 4 session class with lots of great material taught! I hope that if you are interested not only in Friendship, but in seeing what we believe the Word teaches about a lot of basic stuff, I hope that you will come and take part in the class. Anyone who is interested may register.
New Booklet on the BOTHS
I have just finished what I have been working on for quite a while, a booklet on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, or the infilling of the Spirit. I am convinced that LUKE 3:16 is just as important, to the saved person of course, as John 3:16 is. If you get saved but fail to move on towards that wonderful infilling of God's Holy Spirit that provides power to be a witness and supplies blessings untold, then you are missing all that God has for you.
I used to get frustrated with those who talked abou the "full Gospel", like there was something of the Gospel that we might be leaving off. But I do tend to understand their perspective a little more these days. The Gospel is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose again, according to the Scriptures, and all who believe and receive that will be born again! Period! But God has given and does intend that we receive His Spirit's fullness as well. I believe that if John 3:16 is all you give a person, you really aren't giving them the full message of what God has provided for us (Read the last of Peter's sermon in Acts 2!)
We have finshed the booklet and it is available for you to receive free of charge. If you desire one, please email me at www.busterwilson@netscape.com or do a comment on this blog.
I love you and look forward to serving you in Jesus' Name real soon.
