wednesday night recap…

-worship was intense…sometimes it takes some serious pressing to get out of it what it deserves. props go out to our guys for taking it to another level!
-i saw a friend that snuck in during worship (drew) thanks for coming by and praying! God is up to something here!
-the crowd was good…although 13 kids showed up in the end-it seems a teacher at their school offered them extra credit to go watch a dance recital at another church-nice.
-no matter how hard the devil works to bring frustration-God still gets all the glory!
-candles add so much atmosphere in worship!
-thanks scott for bringing your fire gear and allowing me to interview you! nice touch for our series burn…
-skateboarders were on another planet tonight-i love these kids.
-the altar call saw many filled with the spirit tears flowed and many were refilled!

i preached on the baptism in the holy spirit…the initial physical evidence is speaking in other tongues.
- acts 2:1-4 the day of pentecost! the first backdraft-when a violent wind swept into an upper room a 120 were filled with the Holy Ghost!
- the Gift of pentecost – is a powerful promise full of life changing benefits…

- it’s not your job to figure it out – it’s your job to speak it out!

another powerful night at crave…

burn…the sermon series continues

tonight we continue in our series entitled burn. i am bringing in a fireman to talk to the students about fire and explain what a backdraft is. the way i see it in scripture on the day of pentecost a backdraft hit the upper room and it was explosive. a mighty rushing wind hit an upper room where 120 people were gathered together and it was hot! the room was so hot that scripture says tongues of fire rested on each and every one that was present. yes they were all filled and the church went out in revival! tonight we dive into the baptism in the holy spirit. yes we are unashamedly pentecostal and tonight students will be baptized in the holy spirit! it’s the power of pentecost that makes all the difference in what we do at crave. i am going over my message and will post more later tonight!

Burn!
