Deepen your faith through the power of the Holy Spirit

Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing." God has created each one of us for intimate relationship with Himself. As St. Augustine prayed, "Thou has created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in thee." Flourish Your Faith Ministries hosts events for worship, fellowship, and evangelization as opportunities for people to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through an encounter with the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost.

"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy'" (1 Peter 1:15–16, NKJV). The reality of Christ's return as our Bridegroom is ever before us. He is coming for His Bride, one "not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). Our anticipation of this great moment stirs in us a deep desire for holiness.

On the night before He died, Jesus prayed, "Father, let them be one, just as you and I are one--as you are in me and I am in you. May they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." Flourish welcomes Christians of all denominations together to worship and fellowship in unity as members of the Body of Christ. "Today, in many parts of the world, under the inspiring grace of the Holy Spirit, many efforts are being made in prayer, word and action to attain that fullness of unity which Jesus Christ desires" (Unitatis Redintegratio 4). As the Psalmist exclaimed, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people dwell together in unity!"

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." In everything that we do, whether local outreaches or foreign missions, our goal is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples.
