There is a noticeable difference between a spectator and a participant.
Think about your favorite sports team. Thousands of fans fill the stadium every game. They cheer. They celebrate. They complain when a play doesn't go their way. They debate coaching decisions. They wear the jersey. They know the statistics.
But when the game ends, the fans go home.
The players leave exhausted.
In this series, we have discussed what we believe as a church. We have studied and broken down a lot of beliefs and ideas that have existed since the beginning of the world. We have looked at the mistakes mankind has made and how God made a way for us to return to Him. We have discussed what we are supposed to be doing right here and now as the church.
Today and next week, we will be looking to see what God has up his sleeve for the future. What He has promised us is still to come.
As we continue our series Sure Foundations, today we arrive at two core beliefs that separate our church from other Christian Fellowships and Denominations. Today we are diving into the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, and the Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism is speaking in tongues. Spoiler alert. We are a full gospel church.

Everyone has had different experiences in church. Some come to faith earlier in life and some later in life. Some of you attended church as a child, but you walked away from your faith and returned later. Some of you might still be working your way back as you read this.
Today we are continuing to look at how to share our faith with people. In our study, we are looking at individuals involved with the story of Jesus going to the cross. The thing to note is that each of these individuals is to be invited to the Table to have proximity with Jesus. In this post, we are looking at someone who needs to be invited to the table because they are going through emotional pain., Mary the Mother of Jesus.
