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!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 4 - Man: Once Good - Now Fallen To Sin



Starship Truthprise's Space Log :




What is going on in the Starship Truthprise? So much smoke... could something be wrong!

We Believe..



though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. 


Memory Verse :

Romans 3:23

New International Version (NIV)
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Doe Doe, Dee Dee, and The Banished Ball (An Object Lesson on Man's Fall Due to Sin) :





Doe Doe and his sister Dee Dee use a few balls and tubes to talk about following rules and getting banished! Check out how it all relates to the story of Adam and Eve


Bible Lesson : 


Genesis 1:31 (What God Created was VERY GOOD)
Genesis 3 (The Fall)

Billy made a big mistake and now the ship is not working as well as it should - the same thing happened with Adam and Eve. All it takes is breaking one rule to make things just fall apart.  Rules are there for a reason, and no matter how good you are - you can be tempted to break them in some way.  No matter who may have tricked you, the consequences go to you because we each have the wonderful freedom of choice.  Use it wisely!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 3 - Jesus : Both Human and Divine


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :



Oh no! IT looks like Captain D is running low on gas.. and there is something else blocking the Starship Truthprise from moving on... what can they do?

We Believe :

In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine. 

Memory Verse :

John 1:1

New International Version (NIV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Doe Doe and The RabbitDuck (An Object Lesson on Jesus being Human and Divine) :





Doe Doe uses some animals in his hat to talk about how Jesus is both Human and Divine!


Bible Lesson : 

His virgin birth, Matthew 1:23 [KJV/NIV]
His sinless life, Hebrews 7:26 [KJV/NIV]
His miracles, Acts 2:22 [KJV/NIV]
His substitutionary work on the cross, 1 Corinthians 15:3 [KJV/NIV]
His bodily resurrection from the dead, Luke 24:39 [KJV/NIV]
His exaltation to the right hand of God. Philippians 2:9-11 [KJV/NIV]

Sometimes we are in such a state that we can only have help by a very powerful person.  The entire world needs Jesus.  God sent him, His very son, to give us an example to live by.  Only a full human and divine being could have done what Jesus did here on earth! Born of a virgin - and the Holy Spirit ... Living a sinless life ... the miracles he was able to perform ... the sacrifice on the cross ... His resurrection ... and lifting to the right hand of God! What an amazing God we serve!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 2 - One God In Three Persons


Starship Truthprise's Space Log :


Captain D sent Billy from the Starship Truthprise down to their first Alien Planet ... Planet Triune!  What kind of customs might they have had?  Billy should have his report ready by now... check it out!

We Believe :
There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

Memory Verse :

1 Timothy 2:5

King James Version (KJV)
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Doe Doe and The Mysterious Egg (An Object Lesson on One God - Three Persons) :





 Doe Doe showed the Lakewood kids how an Egg can point to God and as well talked a bit about Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection!


Bible Lesson : 



Matthew 3:13-17 (Baptism of Jesus)


The Starship Truthprise is doing well in its mission! The first planet has a strange custom of threes! Why in the world would a planet be like this?
While we only have one God, we recognize three distinct persons that our God operates in. There are not many times that the Bible mentions all three persons of God at the same time.  This story the most prevalent and powerful. God the Father showing approval of His son to the world.  The Holy Spirit showing it's approval and closeness to Christ, and Christ showing a servants heart to guide us in the proper way to live.  There are many powerful moments in scripture to show us the acceptance of each part of God! Jesus prays to His father to give us a good example and show that His power is from God.  Jesus dies and comes back... leaving again to give us the Holy Spirit, a helper gaining an even more wonderful access to God.
