Revelation is a book of endings and new beginnings.  It is the book that starts with destruction but it ends with a new creation.

The book of Revelation is not a book about the future.  It’s a book about your future.  It’s not just some scientific study about what might happen next.  It’s a very personal book.  Every single one of us is mentioned in this book.  Not by name.  But we’re all mentioned.  Because at the end of time we’re either going to be standing with believers in that great multitude at the sea of glass that worships Jesus forever, or we’re going to be standing with unbelievers at that Great White Throne of Judgment to be banished from God’s presence forever.  Everybody in all of human history is mentioned in this book of Revelation.  It’s a very personal book about our lives and about what God is going to do in our lives.

God wrote Revelation to us to help us understand the future, not to keep us from understanding the future.  Yet all of us, when we read the book of Revelation especially for the first time, don’t you get a little dizzy?  You open up and start to read it and it just does some things to you and you wonder what is this talking about?  That’s why it’s a good time to study it and see what God has to say to us.  He wrote it to help us understand.  As we study it together I believe God will increase your understanding in a great way.

A new weekend series starting Feb. 3rd!

The New Year is upon us, and it’s an exciting time at Christian Life Center! We’re about to embark on a journey of spiritual transformation that I’m praying will be revolutionary to all who participate. “Foundations: 40 Days in The Word” launches Sunday, February 3rd.  Too many people don’t really believe God’s Word, or don’t ‘do’ God’s Word. My hope is 40 Days in The Word will transform us from ‘hearers’ to ‘doers.’  This is a church wide look at the principles of the Word of God based on the following titles:

1.Feb. 3 – Building My Life On The Bible

2. Feb. 10 – Why Can I Trust The Bible?

3. Feb. 17 – How The Bible Changes Us

4.Feb. 24 – Seeing What God Wants Me To See

5. Mar. 3 – How To Study A Bible Passage

6. Mar. 10 – Understanding the Meaning of a Text

7. Mar. 17 – Integrating Gods Word Into My Life

Join us on Saturday, March 2nd for this high impact time of ministry. Tickets are available at the Welcome Center beginning January 13th. Cost is $20.

The morning will start with a continental breakfast at 8:30am. At 9:00am, Kristal Bentley will lead us into His presence in worship. Our Guest Speakers will minister the Word of God and bring a life changing message just for us. Jenn Gruber will also be performing an inspiring drama she has written. Please invite your friends, neighbors and family to come for the morning, as our conference ends at 12:30pm. The Women’s Ministry of CLC looks forward to seeing you on this very special day!

Teri Camp Willis has been gladly serving the Lord for more than 30 years. Raised in a Christian home, she had the privilege of witnessing a miracle at the age of 9. Her own father was the recipient of the miracle after having 2 unsuccessful back surgeries and declared legally disabled. Three years later, she received her own healing after spending 5 days under an oxygen tent in the hospital. Today, Teri loves sharing the good news that God still brings healings, miracles, freedom and restoration to His people-spirit, soul and body.

Teri is a 1986 graduate of The University of Memphis with a B.A. in Marketing/Advertising. In 1994, Teri completed nine semesters at Life in the Spirit Bible School in search of more Biblical truth. In 2005, she obtained a M.A. in Clinical Christian Counseling and in 2007 she graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Christian Psychology, receiving both degrees from Cornerstone University.

As a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, Teri is board certified in marriage and family, child & adolescent, and crises & abuse therapies. She is founder of Love & Willis Family Counseling, and is licensed and ordained by The National Christian Counselors Association. She also serves in praise and worship ministry and teaches monthly Bible studies under the leadership of Pastors Peter & Trisha Roselle at King of Kings Worship Center in Basking Ridge, NJ.

Teri has been married 24 years to her husband, N.Y. Post Sports Columnist, George Willis and one daughter, Taylor Ashley, who began her college education in the Fall of 2012.

Pastor Stacy Deerin encountered Jesus for the first time in 2000, where she was radically saved and healed. After this first encounter, she began to seek Jesus and cry out to God and one year later, the Holy Spirit led her to study the book of Song of Songs, in which she had a radical, life-changing encounter with Jesus. As a result of this experience, Pastor Stacy began to live out the command that Jesus gave to His disciples “go into all the world and preach the gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the leaper, raise the dead, freely you have received, freely give.” In 2003, Unfailing Love Ministries was founded by Pastor Stacy and her husband Bill and they ministered to the broken and displaced in Asbury Park area of New Jersey. In 2009, the vision expanded to start a church, Unfailing Love Fellowship, which has been reaching the world for Jesus and experiencing God’s miraculous power. Pastor Stacy and Bill have been happily married for 19 years and have 2 children, Mackenzie, 17 and Billy, 15. All of the Deerin’s currently serve the Lord together in the ministry of their church.

One of the truly beautiful things that God is doing at CLC is transforming us into a radical sending church. Of the over 9,000 churches in the Assemblies of God in the United States, CLC is in the top 300 in missionary giving.

It is our deep belief that God has even more blessed days ahead of us. We are trusting Him to grow us into a sending church that will be giving $500,000 a year to spread the gospel through missions.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

For Senders- Every spring our Missions Emphasis Week reaches its climax with our Faith Promise Pledges. What is a Faith Promise Pledge? It is a personal promise between each of us and God to give to missions over the next year as God enables us. It is a commitment beyond our regular tithing to give to support the work of God around the world and in our own backyard. Then throughout the year we give to fulfill the promises that we have made to God. (An easy way to do it is to use the giving envelops in the pews. Just make sure to fill in the little box marked, “Missions”.) Of course if you are new to CLC or for some other reason did not make a faith-promise last year, we’d still love for you to join us in this ministry of giving.

For Goers- There are local opportunities to serve, right here! Has God put a burden on your heart for those with real needs. Every week some of us from CLC head down to Cast Your Cares in the Kensington section of Philadelphia to help distribute food and serve meals in the name of Jesus to those have been hit by hard times.

To expand the impact of Christian Life Center outside of its local area by providing support to various missionaries, missionary organizations, and academic institutions whose primary goals are to connect people to Jesus Christ through an authentic experience with God

The Heart of God

Why did the God who created the entire universe send his son to this tiny little blue planet to give his life for all his children? Because he has a great big heart, because he loves us more than we will ever be able to understand. And God is in the business of molding and shaping our hearts until they look and feel and love like his heart does.

That’s why Missions is so important at CLC! Missions is all about seeing the world the way God sees it.

God loves people in Bensalem and in Philadelphia. And God loves people scattered around the world form Haiti to Hungary, from India to Israel, from Bolivia to Scotland and Germany. That’s why we support missionaries to all those countries and others too, as well as missions outreaches right here in our own backyard.

Missions at CLC is all about the heart of God moving radical senders to help the radical goers take God’s love throughout the world.
