culture or world we live in. We will help people shift over from a spectator, theater style service to a participative, activated, lab-setting service. We will help members develop in the 10 spiritual gifts of I Corinthians 12-13. Members will be empowered to minister to one another during the service as led by the Holy Spirit, after the Church model given in the book of Acts. While we respect the traditions set down in Church history, the service style will always be fluid and not static or boring, but directed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be uninhibited by programs, traditions, properness, time limits, style, controlling people, individual theology or theological debate. We will help people not only get Saved and set free through Christ, but also provide a home or support system, family, in order to support and sustain their spiritual growth. |
dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints (God's devoted people, the experience of the love) what is the breadth and length and height and depth (of it); (That you may really come to know (practically, through experience for yourselves) the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience); that you may be filled (through all your being) unto all the fullness of God (may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God himself)! Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of ) the (action of His) power that is at work within us, is able to (carry out His purpose and) do super abundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) ask or think (infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams) - To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it). |
| The power of the LAB Setting Church Service:
grow, take chances and try new things in a supportive environment in order to become Spirit Led and less "flesh" led. In today's culture, people need to be able to contribute in a meaningful way, and not just be a spectator during the service. This activates people instead of leaving them mostly passive. |

I am now making twice as much as I did at my previous job. I had heard stories of people being blessed beyond measure because of their giving but I always thought, "Well, God provided for them, but I don't know if He'll do it for me." One of the main reasons why I think God blessed me so much is because I was faithful in my giving. Sometimes I thought I couldn't afford it ... but the truth was that I couldn't afford not to. If I could encourage anyone, I would say that giving as much as God leads, even when you're not sure where your next meal is coming from, will help you in your faith. God will bless.
