An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 7 - The Baptism of The Holy Spirit



Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Captain D is having Billy install the New Navigation Device! Will it work? Is it better? Find out!

We Believe..





the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.

Memory Verse :

Acts 1:8

New International Version (NIV)
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Doe Doe and The Magnifying Holy Spirit (An Object Lesson)  :




Doe Doe talks about the Power of the Holy Spirit, while maybe over simplified... it is pretty cool!


Bible Lesson : 

Acts 2 (Peter's bold stand)

Peter has a seemingly rapid transition on the day of Pentecost, the day that the believers received the Holy Spirit.  The believers are together, unified in so many things, and God opens up the heavens gifting them with His Holy Spirit!  This promised gift finally comes and outward signs begin to occur.  Those watching and not receiving can only mock and talk down about those that are affected by the Spirit of God.  Peter stands boldly and lets them know that this was foretold to happen in the book of Joel.  He stands tall, with proper knowledge for this crowd, to get them to have even.. a slightly better understanding of what is happening.  The power of the Holy Spirit is so many things; direction, understanding, knowledge, power, comfort... and so much more.  Let us accept it when we can, and not bring down others that are receiving it!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 6 - Two Ordinances: Baptism & Communion


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Salvation station has taken care of the ship! As well the have provided Billy with some special items! Check it out!

We Believe..





and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.


Memory Verse :

1 Corinthians 11:25 NIV

In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Matthew 28:19 NIV

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Doe Doe and The Inner Changed Cone (An Object Lesson about Outward Ordinances)  :




Doe Doe names a few pieces of card board and teaches the importance of inner change!


Bible Lesson : 

Jesus' Baptism (Matthew 3)
Jesus Starting Communion (Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22)

Jesus lived as an example for us in so many ways.  The greatest is his selfless love for all others.  We can be like this as well, but there were also some outward things Jesus did to 'show' others His dedication and remembrance of truth. He was baptized, even though John felt that he was not worthy to do it, Jesus understood the importance of showing this outwardly, and explained it for us later.  We are baptized just as Jesus was and it symbolizes the end of the sinful man and the birth of the new man covered in the blood of Christ!  Jesus also made reference during the last supper of our need to remember what He was to do in order for us to have acceptance in Salvation.  We remember the blood shed and the body that was torn for us.  While these outward things do not really change us, we really 'want' to do them because of our inward changes due to the acceptance of Christ within!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 5 - Salvation: Available To All


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Is it really true?  Is there a place that the crew of the Starship Truthprise can go in order to get fixed? Will Captian D accept that he needs the help?

We Believe..




Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).


Memory Verse :

Romans 10:9

New International Version (NIV)
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Doe Doe and The Answer To Trouble (An Object Lesson on Salvation) :




Doe Doe shows a quick and easy solution to Salvation!


Bible Lesson : 


2 Kings 5

Naaman's healing

It should not matter how hard, or how easy the thing is we are asked to do to 'make up' for our mistakes.  If we really believe that we have made a mistake, or sinned - we should be willing to do whatever is needed of us.  The great thing is that we are just asked to Trust in Christ, His sacrifice and to focus on Him for the rest of our lives.  He died for us so that we could live. Naaman was given a fairly easy task to be healed and had not others around him encouraged him to actually do what was asked of him, instead of just being angry about it - he never would have been healed... just angry.  Ask Jesus into your life today - it will heal you, and will even help out that anger!
