The Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The Promise is for You - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "The Baptism in the Holy Spirit - The Promise is for You.” Pastor Ben explored Jesus’ promise to His followers that they would be baptized in the Holy Spirit and receive power to be His witnesses, as recorded in Acts 1:4–9. He explained the three baptisms found in Scripture: being baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, being baptized in water as a public declaration of faith, and being baptized in the Holy Spirit by Jesus for empowerment in ministry. Pastor Ben also taught about the gift of tongues, describing it as a sign of the Spirit’s filling, a prophetic exhortation that builds up the church, and a prayer language that enables believers to speak directly to God. Through this message, we were reminded that the promise of the Holy Spirit is still for believers today, empowering us to live boldly and faithfully for Christ. ✍️ Notes Title: The Baptism in the Holy Spirit – Ben Johnson On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.  For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”  He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 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.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. –Acts 1:4-9 (NIV) When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. –Acts 2:1-4 (NIV) THREE BAPTISMS Baptized into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkhtKIdWJHQ&t=733s]) by the Holy Spirit Baptized in Water (Romans 6:4) by a Disciple Baptized in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkhtKIdWJHQ&t=191s]; Acts 1:8) By Jesus On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all. – Ephesians 19:5-7 (NIV) Tongues are… ⭑ A sign: of the spirit’s filling (Acts 2:4) ⭑ A prophetic Exhortation: building up the church (1 Corinthians 14:5) ⭑ A prayer language: speaking to God (1 Corinthians 14:2) “THE PROMISE IS FOR YOU…” ACTS 2:39 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkhtKIdWJHQ&t=159s] 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

The Devine's Benefit Package - Marshall Eizenga | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, Guest Speaker, Marshall Eizenga preached a message entitled “The Divine’s Benefit Package.” Drawing from Psalm 103, Pastor Marshall highlighted the incredible benefits God graciously gives to His people — forgiveness, healing, restoration, favour, contentment, and spiritual enablement. Focusing on the promise that God “heals all your diseases,” Pastor Marshall reminded us that God cares deeply about every part of our lives — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He encouraged us to trust God even in seasons where healing may not yet be visible, choosing faith over fear and believing in the unseen because we know the One who is faithful. Through David’s example, we were challenged to hold onto a faith that remains strong and alive, confidently resting in God’s power, goodness, and sustaining grace. This message invited us to remember God’s faithfulness and to walk daily in gratitude for His divine care and provision. ✍️ Notes Title: The Divine’s Benefit Package – Marshall Eizenga Dr. H.L. Wilmington: “Psalm 103 contains precious and personal promises which all believers can feed upon. This psalm is possibly the greatest, grandest and most glorious poem of praise to Jehovah God ever composed.” Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: “Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” –Psalm 103:3-5 The Divine benefit of Forgiveness The Divine benefit of Healing The Divine benefit of Restoration The Divine benefit of Favour The Divine benefit of Contentment The Divine benefit of Spiritual Enablement ⭑ David believes in the unseen because he believes in the one he hasn’t seen ⭑ David’s faith wasn’t going to die before he did! 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission - Mark Hazzard | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, Guest speaker Mark Hazzard preached a message entitled "Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission." Drawing from Matthew 28:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlzyf06LAzc&t=1698s]–20, Pastor Mark emphasized both the urgency and clarity of Jesus’ Great Commission to "go and make disciples." He challenged us to consider four important questions: Who should be making disciples? What does making disciples look like? Who should we disciple? And when should we make disciples? Pastor Mark reminded us that disciple-making is not reserved for a select few but is the calling of every believer, empowered by Christ’s authority and presence. This message encourages us to live with purpose, embracing our mission to make disciples wherever God has placed us. ✍️ Notes Title: Devoted. One Church, One World, One Mission – Mark Hazzard “18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Still Room at the Table - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Still Room at the Table.” Pastor Ben reminded us that God’s invitation is open to everyone, pointing to Jesus’ parable in Luke 14 where the master continued to welcome more guests because there was still room at the table. He encouraged us to see the heart of God for people who may feel overlooked, forgotten, or far from Him, and challenged us to make room in our lives for others just as Christ has made room for us. Pastor Ben also reflected on Acts 2:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=166s]-47, highlighting the beauty of biblical community as believers gathered together with glad and sincere hearts, sharing meals, praising God, and witnessing lives being transformed daily. This message calls us to live with open hearts, open minds and open tables, inviting others into the life-changing love and community found in Jesus. ✍️ Notes Title: Still Room at the Table – Ben Johnson “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” –Acts 2:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=166s]-47 NIV “When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.  At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’  “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ ‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.” –Luke 14:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=855s]-23 (NIV) 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

The Power of Sending - Darcy & Leanne McAlister | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, guest speakers, Darcy and Leanne McAlister shared a message entitled “The Power of Sending.” They reminded us that God is still calling people into His mission and that the Church is called to participate through evangelism, discipleship, justice, creation care, and community. Drawing from Acts 13:1–3, Darcy and Leanne highlighted how the church at Antioch identified, discipled, and sent out leaders like Barnabas and Saul for God’s work. They encouraged us to see sending as a community responsibility — one that requires a willingness to mentor, develop, and release the next generation into ministry both locally and globally. Through stories of mission work, marriage ministry, and investing in young leaders around the world, they challenged us to say “yes” to God’s calling and to faithfully send our sons and daughters into His mission. ✍️ Notes Title: The Power of Sending – Darcy and Leanne McAlister Connecting Women & Men into God’s Mission • French translation • International groups • Groups for and Women • Regional Conferences Mission Global • Communicating God’s heart for mission • Encouraging missional discipleship • Connecting our churches with global work Marriage Ministry • Online and in person • Marriage mentoring in a Muslim country • Marriage courses used by leaders in contexts without Bible schools A Call to Young Leaders • Coaching • Mentoring • In Canada & around the world God is Still Calling People • God has a Mission • God Mission is Holistic • Evangelism • Discipleship • Justice • Creation Care • Community • The Church is Called to Participate “Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon (called “the black man”), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul. One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way.” –Act 13:1-3 (NLT) Committed to Identify and Disciple • Barnabas identified him as a leader • He mentored him • He developed a leader Dedicated to Sending • A community responsibility • We send our best We must send our sons and daughters “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;” –Act 2:17 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdzbqWkv8&t=137s] A Willingness to say “yes.” 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...
