We are especially thankful that we can have this kind of discussion in our church. The topic was very controversial and it stirred up questions that many of us still have hidden deep in our hearts.
Those questions are exactly why we felt the need to have a monthly Q & A Sunday gathering. That’s also the reason why we have provided a special link to submit your questions.
We want you to be assured and secured in your relationship with God. We want you to not live in fear of losing your connection with God. We want you to understand the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. We want you to understand the difference between the gift of tongues and praying in tongues or praying in the Spirit. We want you to understand the definitions and differences between praise and worship, so that you can receive and appreciate various styles in church services.
Did you know that we have taught on all of these topics? Most of your questions can be answered in the teaching series that are available on our website.
For instance you can find:
Assured and Secured in Your Relationship with God at http://www.urbanlife-church.org/Assured-Secured
This teaching series explains how a person truly gets saved and what salvation really is, according to the Bible. It’s very important to know the Bible’s definition of salvation and not just your old church doctrine’s definition of salvation.
Spirit Filled Living (Part 1) at http://www.urbanlife-church.org/videos/Teaching_Videos/Spirit_Filled_Living-01.htm
This teaching explains what it means to have the Holy Spirit living within us and also what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Spirit Filled Living (Part 2) at http://www.urbanlife-church.org/videos/Teaching_Videos/Spirit_Filled_Living-02.htm
This teaching goes into details about speaking in tongues and praying in tongues.
Prayer, Praise and Worship: The Lifestyle of Victorious Believers at http://www.urbanlife-church.org/videos/Sundays_2012/Sunday-08-05-12.html
This teaching explains PRAYER as a conversation with God. It means both to "talk to" and to "hear from" God. PRAISE is telling God and others about what God has done. WORSHIP is our whole-hearted response to what we have seen, learned or experienced in God.
These teaching series are available for your personal study; so you can gain clarity and understanding in these Biblical foundations. You will be amazed as to how so many things in your life will come into focus as you get solid answers to those nagging questions that were never answered about this Christian life. Your vision will become even clearer and your steps will become surer.
We also urge you to make every effort to continue to meet with us on Sunday mornings or at least connect with our new Urban Life Daily Postings that are designed to build your faith.
Our adventure continues this Sunday as we take another step in revealing the mystery and ministry of Christ. We hope to see you there.
