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. Speaker: Text: Doctrinal Statement 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. Message Title: Message Points: What did God say to me through this message? What actions will I take to bring my life in line with the word? Sermon Notes 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. What truth do I need to study further? Page 2 Page 15
Jacob s Ladder Mission Statement Call to Worship Sacrifice Obedience Commitment Congregational Hymns 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. Opening Prayer Scripture Reading Praise and Worship Welcome Fresh Climb Choir Pastoral Unity Prayer Spoken Word Altar Call Worship and Giving Order of Service 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 Announcements Closing Remarks and Benediction Pastor Robert Douglas Page 14 Page 3
Page 4 Welcome You did not come to this church by accident. Perhaps a friend or family member invited you. You are not here by choice; you came into this church because the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ called you here today. This is an Apostolic church and our Pastor preaches salvation. Acts 2:38 states that we must repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Apostolic Doctrine means that in order to be born again, you must be baptized of the water and the Spirit (John 3:5). We pray that you enjoy service today and that you may be touched by the Spirit of the Lord. If you would like more information on the Apostolic Doctrine, please feel free to contact our Suffragan Bishop Robert T. Douglas, PhD. VERSE OF THE MONTH: Romans 13:1-7 Citizenship Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
