The God Of Possibilities: “Baptisms - Earth: Water, Wind and Fire” - Part 1

Recap of 3/28/2011:
We took a shot at covering the topics of the "power", the "sign", the "gift" and surrounding elements. Though we did not have an atomic explosion, I think we covered some good ground. Hopefully, as we radiate into the next few weeks, we'll see how much devastation we can do to the enemy's attempt to influence our thinking and understanding!!


For 4/4/2011:
Brief: As it was in the beginning, so God continues His creative power. He desires to have "the good" restored in His creation. We'll be looking at the dynamics of earth (humankind), water (Word of God), wind (Holy Spirit), and fire (purifying) as we look at the baptisms in the Word of God. Below you will find some starter scriptures to use in your preparation for our meeting.
