Winter

In 59 years, no service has ever been cancelled, and Sunday School has been conducted every week. Never phone to ask if there's a service. No matter how cold the weather, how furious the blizzard, nothing is ever cancelled.

A - ACCEPT His free gift of salvation. “For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

B- BELIEVE that He died for your sins. “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

C - CONFESS that Jesus is now your Savior. “For with the heart man believes . . . And with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” (Romans 10:10)

This is the simple plan of salvation: accepting what Jesus did for you on the cross, believing that He died for YOUR sins, and confessing Him as Lord of YOUR life. What a glorious day when you put sin behind and follow Jesus in simple childlike faith.

Do you hunger for revival in your family? In your church? City? Nation? Do you long for a fresh move of God in your own life? If so, you are ready for a revival borne from the very words of Scripture. Biblical revival is exactly what Pastor Vernon C. Lyons offers throughout the pages of The Revivals in the Bible. According to Lyons, Christians have resorted to polls, market research, and surveys on how to conduct successful revivals for far too long. In our zeal we seem to have forgotten that old Book, the Bible, in which God's ordained revivals are recorded. And for the first time, twenty biblical revivals, their characteristics and attributes, are contained in one book, The Revivals in the Bible. You will find out: • What sparked the revivals in the Bible • Who God used to kindle revivals in families, churches, cities, and nations • What stirs God to ignite a revival Vernon C. Lyons, pastor, author and patriarch, has served Chicago's Ashburn Baptist Church since 1951. Under his leadership, Ashburn Baptist has founded thirty-eight other churches in the United States.

The One Hundred Club is made up of people at Ashburn Baptist who know 100 Bible verses. These may be verses that you choose or you may use the list of 100 that is given on this sheet. However, it is preferable that the verses be leading verses and that they be selected from the entire Bible and not heavily concentrated in three or four Bible books.

When you know 100 verses, then go to your Sunday School Teacher or Flock Leader who will listen to you recite them. They must be memorized from a standard translation, such as, The King James Version, New American Standard Bible, or the New International Version. Paraphrases are not acceptable.
