This morning I want to talk to you about water baptism. Water baptism is a wonderful ordinance of the church. Yet, it is one that is not emphasized nearly enough. There is much confusion about water baptism. Man people have questions about water baptism. They ask things like: What is it, what does it mean, when should it be done, how should it be done, as well as a host of others...which leads to the biggest question of all. Why should I be baptized? That question is asked...because many people do not understand water baptism...and that is why the message today is understanding water baptism!

This morning…I want to remind all of us of a neglected and fundamental truth found in Romans chapter 8. No other chapter in the Bible mentions the Holy Spirit as much as Romans 8. As Pentecostals we need to spend more time in Romans Chapter! It is the heartbeat of what the Bible has to say about life in the Spirit. I believe that learning to live in, by, and through the Holy Spirit is the single most important lesson a believer can learn! WHY?, WHY? Why? Because an overcoming and victorious life comes from a correct understanding of God…who He is…and what He has done…and how much He loves us…all heresy begins with a misunderstanding of God…who He is…what He has done…and how much he loves us!

Message by Jim Westheim concluding the series Perfect Love

This morning…the message is Perfect Love: Joined Together! Today we are talking about…what it means to be “JOINED TOGETHER”. This phrase JOINED TOGETHER comes from the inspired word of God! This phrase may not mean much to unbelievers, but to us…as followers of Christ…those words should mean a lot! Why? Because God wants what is best for us…why are these words important to us?…Because we want to have happy and fulfilled married life! We need to remember that God is the original designer of the family! If we are wise and careful…and follow God’s plan for family and marriage we can avoid the pain and rejection that the world does…because it ignores God and His word!

What is perfect love? Is there any such thing? If there is…how do we find it? Can we have it in our families? Is there hope for my marriage? Is there hope for my family? Common questions that you may be asking this morning…or have asked in the past. Everybody wants Perfect Love…everyone is searching for it…here is the problem…not everyone knows what it is or how to make it!
