Key Verses:

Acts 2:41 – “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Pastor Lantis uses this verse to highlight the transformative power of sharing the gospel and the growth that comes from committed discipleship.

Acts 28:28 – “Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.” This verse reinforces the message of spreading the gospel beyond familiar circles.

Psalm 1 – “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly…” He encourages listeners to ground themselves in faith, warning against influences that lead away from spiritual growth.

 

Pastor Lantis calls for believers to not only seek personal fellowship with God but to actively contribute to the community and support each other’s faith journey.
