We have just started encouraging people to post in their Facebook status that they are at FLAG church and to encourage their friends to tune in online.
Look what I found when I was navigating to the FLAG Church Facebook page.
Thanks for all of the Facebook love!
Family Life believes in the practice of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit as taught in 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14, and most specifically in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 and 14:26-32.
The most frequent uses of these gifts are the verbal gifts of “a word of prophecy” and an “utterance in tongues with interpretation.”
We were able to capture and transcribe a recent demonstration in one of our services. 1 Corinthians 14:29 tells us to “weigh carefully what was said” in the use of these gifts.
Utterance and Interpretation
8/31/2010 – 10:00 service
You are my sheep
You are my sheep now
I love my sheep
And I want you to be safe
And be free
When Family Life started in October 1993 they had no resources.
The core of 20 people had been removed from their previous church through incorrect use of church discipline.
The Assemblies of God district leadership asked this core to start a new church, indicating their disapproval of the previous church’s disciplinary measures.
Most of this 20 person core had invested for decades their heart and finances into the previous church they had been removed from. They now found themselves scrounging by on the meager resources they had on hand.
In 2009 the former church they had been removed from closed. As the assets were being liquidated district leadership found it proper to direct much of the remaining assets to Family Life to help fund our new building efforts.
Announced today, Family Life received earlier this summer two checks equaling $90,000 of assets remaining from the previous church.
These funds, separate from the $300,000 the current congregation pledged to give over the next 3 years in the Building Tomorrow Together Campaign, have been deposited and will be used for Phase 2 building needs.
We thank God for the graciousness of the Kansas Assemblies of God District Leadership and God’s hand in the timing of this financial event.
Notably, these resources and the decisions accompanying them did not occur until Family Life made efforts to step out in faith to raise $300,000.
If God can get it through you, He can get it to you.
Here is the video that I showed in service today.
The amazing Washington Post article is here.
Remember: You must take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime during the lifetime of the opportunity.
Choose Christ!
Sorry that this video didn’t work well this Sunday.
Below is what you should have seen.
We start this Wed, August 4th, at John Pimentel’s house.
