Lifeline - Calvary Apostolic Church

CALVARY APOSTOLIC CHURCH, UPCI
La Crosse, Wisconsin
The Basic fundamental doctrine of this organization shall be the
Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in
water by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for
remission of sins, and baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial
sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives
utterance. We shall endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit until
we all come into the unity of the faith, at the same time
admonishing all brethren that they shall not contend for their
different views to the disunity of the body.

Solid Foundation
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ"
1 Corinthians 3:11
Every building that is built is set on a foundation. The
foundation is the most essential part of the construction
process. If the foundation isn't laid correctly or if the
wrong ingredients are used in the cement mixture, the
building is sure to fall. Paul goes on to tell us, "According
to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he
buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man
build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made
manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be
revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of
what sort it is" (1 Corinthians 3:10-13). He said that he
had laid the foundation. So many people are trying to
build their lives, but they are not building it on a sure
foundation. A sure foundation has proven that it can stand
and withhold the weight that is placed upon it. A sure
foundation has weathered the storms. Jesus tells us to cast
our cares upon Him. No matter how much weight we may
be carrying, Jesus can bear the load. Paul’s ministry was
all about Jesus Christ, the foundation of the church. This
foundation is under constant scrutiny by so many today as
being wrong. And from every aspect of the world, it is
under attack to be broken up and discarded.

destroy the foundation you are trying to build your life on?
Or are you going to live your life so that others can see just
what foundation you are built on?

Remember Satan Is Limited





He is a fallen Angel and is not equal to God.
He is not omnipresent (All places at once)
He is not omniscient (All knowing)
He is not omnipotent (All powerful)
He is unaware of thoughts/mind
When you pray, remind yourself of these
limitations. Most importantly, remember that
our Lord Jesus Christ is Limitless! Nothing is
impossible to Him!

Sunday School
We have started a new series entitled, “Faith, Hope and
Love.” If all people lived by the golden rule “Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself” there would be heaven on
earth. Learning to love your neighbor and treat each
other with honor and respect should begin when you are
a tiny child. Bad habits are hard to break later. During
the month of May our lessons and memory work will
focus on these central truths:
May 5: Love your neighbor
Memory Verse: Matthew 7:12(a)
May 12: Love your enemies
Memory Verse: Matthew 5:44
May 19: Love the brethren
Memory Verse: I John 3:16
May 26: Hope, the expectation of good
Memory Verse: Romans 12:12
Parents and Grandparents: Each week the children are
given a take-home sheet that contains their memory
verse and a word search. The word search contains key
words and phrases that have been taught during the
lesson, puppet show, Bible story, and object lesson.
Completing and discussing the activity sheet will allow
you to review the concepts taught with your child. These
are great conversation starters and also reinforce the
lesson!
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up
holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1 Timothy 2:8

“Christianity was always intended to be a verb.
We’ve got to act on God ideas. We’ve got to
obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We’ve
got to seize opportunities to serve. Talk is cheap,
and we have cheapened the gospel long
enough.”
Mark Batterson, Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul
of Christianity
A HUGE thank you to all those that helped with

Stand up and be strong another VICTORY is in store
It's time to be courageous in the power of the Lord
Now let's move out together and leave our fears behind
Stand up and be strong because the LORD IS ON OUR SIDE.
We challenge every family serving God across the land
To stop and really listen like only God's people truly can,
He's calling for an army to rise and take a stand
CLAIMING EVERY promise
WE'LL SEE GOD'S MIGHTY hand.
When we get discouraged we can stand on what we know
The TRUTH that lasts forever forces enemies to go.
We'll JOIN our ranks together, REJOICING all the way
Watching God DELIVER every prisoner as we pray!
Always remember.....
Joshua 1:5....There shall not any man be able to stand before thee
all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with
thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Romans 8:31…...What shall we then say to these things? If God
be for us, who can be against us?
