An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 10 - The Church Has A Mission


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



The crew of the Starship Truthprise was going to have a party but they found a distress signal.. Will they help who is in need or have their party?

We Believe..





The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.

Memory Verse :

Mark 16:15-16

New International Version (NIV)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Doe Doe and The Lost and Found (An Object Lesson on Finding The Lost)  :





Doe Doe lets the kids create lost cards,  only to have other kids try and find them.. Can they do it?

Bible Lesson :  
Matthew 28:16-20 (Great Commission)

Jesus returns and addresses many believers (as well as some doubters) informing them that we have a mission.  We are to make disciples, Baptize them, and teach them to obey God.  Of course all of these things we should do ourselves, otherwise why get someone else to do what you have not? All you have to do to fulfill this commission is speak up to others about Jesus.  It does not matter who, where, or why ... you can talk about Jesus at any time and He tells us here how he is with us ... that the spirit of God will comfort us and help us to do the job we have been given!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 9 - Sanctification


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Starship Truthprise is due for an upgrade and Billy is trying to figure out what the beeping noise is in the engine! Can the ship get better and better?

We Believe..





Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

Memory Verse :

Romans 12:1-2

New International Version (NIV)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Doe Doe and The Unwanted Gift (An Object Lesson on Sanctification)  :



Doe Doe talks about a gift that no one really wants, but Jesus will take from all of us, but as well... how when we give ourselves to God - we are not empty but have so much more to offer... and to learn!

Bible Lesson : 

Matthew 9:1-8 (Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man)

Salvation is only the doorway into a walk with Christ.  We see a very interesting interaction between Jesus and a Paralyzed man in Matthew chapter 9.  Instead of giving the man what it seemed he needed (a healing) Jesus tells him that his sins are forgiven.  By the end of the encounter we see that his legs were healed as well, but Jesus was looking into the more important issue.  God may come into our lives and forgive us, and clean us of our sins, but it does and should  not just stop there.  We should continue walking forward in Christ.  We should believe that we could sin no more in our lives - that we can grow more and more Christ-like everyday!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 8 - Speaking In Tongues



Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Billy and Captain D just found out that the navigation device has a translator within and they can speak and understand any alien life forms! Very useful on a spaceship!

We Believe..





The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

Memory Verse :

James 3:5-6

New International Version (NIV)
Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

Doe Doe and the Flaming Tongue (An object lesson on Speaking in Tongues)  :




Doe Doe shows us an example of how powerful one tiny flame can be - and how there is only one way that we can control our tongue! 


Bible Lesson : 

 
Acts 10:24-48 (Cornelius and His Friends Speaking in Tongues)

We may think that we are special because we are saved by Jesus, and really this is how the Jewish community felt about themselves because they were the chosen people of God.  God did a miraculous thing when he poured the Holy Spirit on Cornelius and his friends because they were all gentiles, which meant that they were NOT Jews and NOT the chosen people.  

It showed that God was accepting all people.  He did this by making sure something happened - speaking in tongues.  It is possible that they would have believed without that outward sign, but with it - the disciples AND 'circumcised' according to the story could not doubt that God had done what happened there.  Do not doubt what God does in your life, and never be afraid to give Him control of that most powerful device, your tongue!
