2 Doctrinal Statement Sermon Notes WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired, infallible (unalterable) Word of God written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. WE BELIEVE in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. We believe that he was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust Him. WE BELIEVE that in Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. WE BELIEVE in the Virgin Birth; Jesus was both human and divine; He was God manifested in the flesh. WE BELIEVE in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His spirit, that Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 1900 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek HIM today. WE BELIEVE in baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth. WE BELIEVE in a holy, sanctified life. We believe in divine healing, communion and foot washing. We believe also in the glorious catching away (the Rapture) of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take His people to Heaven. OUR CHIEF AIM is to glorify our Savior, who is Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

3 Jacob s Ladder Mission Statement Order of Service Call to Worship Sacrifice Obedience Commitment Church Purpose: I would like everyone at Jacob s Ladder to k now that we are here in the State of California to promote the Kingdom of God and to recruit souls of men and women of all walks of life into this glorious Kingdom. With this truth established, our primary objective is saving the lost souls, the preservation of the saved soul, and the consecration of the new man in Christ. Our tools to reach our objectives are basically as follows: Repentance from a sinful Life; Water baptism in the name of Jesus The baptism of the Holy Ghost; Educating the lost with the Word; and Referral resources for those that have special needs. With this in mind, I would like for you all to know that I have sought the Lord for approval to expand the operation here at Jacob s Ladder. As your Pastor, it is my desire to acquire a church edifice with a seating capacity suitable for our membership. This will require for us to take this present vision and organize it into a three million dollar project. In closing, I invite any ideas or suggestions to make the vision a reality. In Jesus name, God bless Pastor Robert Douglas Congregational Hymns Opening Prayer Scripture Reading Praise and Worship Welcome Fresh Climb Choir Pastoral Unity Prayer Spoken Word Altar Call Worship and Giving Announcements Closing Remarks and Benediction Page 10 Page 3

5 Page 8 Jacob s Ladder Church Song of the Month ACTS 2:38 VERS E #1 One morning very early On the day of Pentecost, While the church of God assembled, Came the blessed Holy Ghost; When the hungry crowd that heard cried out, "Men, what shall we do? You'll find Saint Peter's answer in The words I bring to you. VERS E #2 Paul praying at Damascus, Where the scales fell from his eyes, Went down into the water In that name he once despised; He received the Holy Ghost And was called of God that day To bear the name to all the world Of Jesus Christ and say VERS E #3 The Ethiopia's Eunuch sat and read Isaiah one day He had no man to guide him Until Philip passed that way, He said, "See, here is water, Why should I not be baptized? For I believe with all my heart. "Straightway he did arise." VERS E #4 Why not obey the Gospel, Learn to do God's work God's way, Repent and be immersed in the name of God today! We'll be measured by the word As we never were before; Accept the Word of God; And enter in the open door. CHORUS O What will you do? With Acts two thirty-eight? The way that leads to life is narrow and straight. "Repent and be baptized:" God is speaking; Do not wait. He gives you full directions there, In Acts two thirty-eight.
