ALIVE IN THE WORD MINISTRY FACTS ABOUT US...

 “Empowering, Edifying and Enabling the People of God”

ALIVE IN THE WORD MINISTRY™ began in 2007 as an informal 1-hour study held on Saturday called ALIVE@5. The atmosphere is not mired in tradition, free from condemnation/judgment, and interactive where questions can be openly asked.  It is a study that refuses to do church as frequently expected but is geared to the learning styles of today.

Target Audience:

v  Singles and families who are Unsaved(never made a confession or accepted Christ in their lives),

v  Un-churched (maybe unsaved or saved, but  are not connected to or attending a fellowship)

v  Persons who have been turned off by misleading or misguided teachings or interactions in the church,  

v  People who are confused or who have been overwhelmed by tradition.

ALIVE IN THE WORD MINISTRY™   Statement of Faith and Missions:

Statement of Faith:

v  There is one God, existing eternally in three persons (Trinity): God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7

v  The Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, which contains guidance, empowerment, and encouragement for everyday life.  Where the bible speaks we speak and where the bible is silent we are silent…2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21

v  Salvation is God’s free gift to all.  It is not a result of what we do, but is through God’s grace.  Salvation is received by admitting we have sinned and belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord. Through salvation we can spend eternity with God. John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24

v  We believe in water baptism as taught and demonstrated by Jesus (through immersion) as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and their new life as a believer. Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17

v  The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He empowers the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God’s will. Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4; John

v  God gives all believers Spiritual Gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church). The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10

v  The act of Communion, as often as you do this you so forth by death and suffering…

Missions:

v  Evangelism/Discipleship Training and Spiritual Retreats

v  Outreaches (Mentoring, Missions in Haiti, Hospice Care, Back to school, Thanksgiving and Christmas Charity)

v  Scholarships (Educational/Trades, College Care packages,)

Psalm 95 - "Worship is God-Centered not Human Centered"

 

1 

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2 

Let us come before him with thanksgiving

    and extol him with music and song.

3 

For the Lord is the great God,

    the great King above all gods.

4 

In his hand are the depths of the earth,

    and the mountain peaks belong to him.

5 

The sea is his, for he made it,

    and his hands formed the dry land.

6 

Come, let us bow down in worship,

    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;

7 

for he is our God

    and we are the people of his pasture,

    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,

8 

“Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]

    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,

9 

where your ancestors tested me;

    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

10 

For forty years I was angry with that generation;

    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,

    and they have not known my ways.’

11 

So I declared on oath in my anger,

    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

"Secret Place"

 

Psalm 91

1-13 You who sit down in the High God’s presence,

    spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,

Say this: “God, you’re my refuge.

    I trust in you and I’m safe!”

That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps,

    shields you from deadly hazards.

His huge outstretched arms protect you—

    under them you’re perfectly safe;

    his arms fend off all harm.

Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,

    not flying arrows in the day,

Not disease that prowls through the darkness,

    not disaster that erupts at high noon.

Even though others succumb all around,

    drop like flies right and left,

    no harm will even graze you.

You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,

    watch the wicked turn into corpses.

Yes, because God’s your refuge,

    the High God your very own home,

Evil can’t get close to you,

    harm can’t get through the door.

He ordered his angels

    to guard you wherever you go.

If you stumble, they’ll catch you;

    their job is to keep you from falling.

You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,

    and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

14-16 

“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,

    “I’ll get you out of any trouble.

I’ll give you the best of care

    if you’ll only get to know and trust me.

Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;

    I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.

I’ll give you a long life,

    give you a long drink of salvation!”

2023 LENT- "Fulfilled" (Week 1)

 

ASH Wednesday

“I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6)."

^{14 What is the benefit, my fellow believers, if someone claims to have faith but has no [good] works [as evidence]? Can that [kind of] faith save him? [No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient—genuine faith produces good works.](James 2:14)}

 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the season (40 days) of preparation as we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter.  Some persons decide to just concentrate on fasting from certain foods, electronics, TV programs, etc...,  ALIVE In The Word challenge is not to just  “Fast”,  but live in the fulfillment of Christ’s ministry, death, resurrection, and what life lesson can be learned and applied in our everyday life, and allow God to “fulfill” you.  We pray that this Life Application Devotional will do just that, to be “fulfilled” by God within these 40 days...Remain in the Hands of God and watch God Work…

(What will you be “Praying” about and what will you “Fast” from (Food (red and fried/pork meats, fast foods, sweets, pops, TV/Facebook/Internet, etc…most important How will God “fulfill” you... and how will God use you to be a blessing…)  

During these 40 Days we will allow God to begin a Good Work starting on Ash Wednesday with Faith in action, Complete the Work on Resurrection Sunday

Let's Start this week in repentance so that God can create and fulfill in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit as we operate in faith daily during this Lent.

Sentence Prayer: God I place myself into your hands so that you may fulfill me during this Lent Season and beyond this Lent Season…
