Beyond President's Chapel @ Elim Bible Institute and College

For session three of Foundations Weekend, Dr. Fred Antonelli shares the importance of the Holy Spirit and His Baptism. He makes a clear distinction between receiving the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Every believer, at the moment of salvation, receives the Holy Spirit. Therefore, every believer has the Holy Spirit in them. However, Dr. Antonelli explains, "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit gives us the power to do great things throughout the course of our lives." We invite you to listen to this message because it will change your life.

For session two of Foundations Weekend, Rev. Matthew Slisher shares the importance of water baptism. He gives several reasons why we should not delay baptism. He states, " water baptism is a reenactment of our spiritual transaction with Christ as we walk in obedience and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus." By choosing water baptism, we are publicly testifying our conversion to Christ and the new life we have in Him. 

For the first session of Foundations Weekend 2022, Pastor Tim Case shares with our student body a foundational truth, the Lordship of Christ. Romans 1:4 states, "and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord". Pastor Tim Case emphasizes the freedom Christians have when they understand what comes from making Jesus truly the Lord of their lives. He affirms, "If we truly want to be free, we should use our freedom to trust God. We need to give up trying to be our own lord and just let Jesus be the Lord of our lives." This is a message that you don't want to miss!

In today's sermon, Pastor Tim Fuest talks about the difference between fight and flight. He encourages the student body to always fight for their faith and flee (flight) from temptation by putting on the armor of God described in Ephesians 6. As Christians, we are called to fight for our faith through the strength of God and we are also called to flee from temptation by the strength of God. This is a great message that will help you grow in your walk with the Lord.

Pastor Tim Fuest shares from the book of James chapter 1 verses 2 to 5. He encourages the student body to seek God no matter what trials come their way. When we faithfully seek God, He gives us the strength to keep moving forward alongside Him through the trials and hardships of life. God is faithful to give us wisdom when we seek Him! Be encouraged that when you persevere and seek God, He will give you what you need!
