Pastors Roger & Tammy Adkins & the Congregation of Living Water Family Church Welcome you!

WELCOME

Knowing that this website can never give you the full picture of Living Water Family Church, we want to give you a glimpse of the amazing things that God is doing in our people. But even more than what God is doing on the inside of us; He is shaping us from within and molding our hearts to be more like Him. We pray that God will spark your interest by what you see in our website so that you would want to learn more about us and the God we serve. We are so glad you have taken this first step in learning about our church and invite you to come and visit us in person.

SCRIPTURE

"Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and
he would have given thee living water."

What does the church believe?

THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).

THE GODHEAD
Our God is one but is manifested in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All are equal and eternal (1 John 5:7; Philippians 2:5-6). Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Word made flesh (Mark 1:1, John 1:1 & 14) and the express image of God (Hebrews 1:2-3). The Holy Spirit proceeded forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:26; 15:26).

MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Man was created in the image of God. Through Adam's transgression, sin entered the world and separated man from God (Genesis 1:26; Romans 5:12-17). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, to redeem man and restore him to God. Man's only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ (1 John 3:8; John 14:6).

THE NEW BIRTH AND ETERNAL LIFE
Man's first step toward salvation is recognizing his sinful state (Romans 3:23) and his complete inability to restore himself to right standing with God (Ephesians 2:5-9). The New Birth is the re-creation of man's sinful spirit into a new creature in Christ Jesus
(2 Corinthians 5:17) and is necessary for every person (John 3:3-5; 2 Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 5:12).

WATER BAPTISM
Baptism in water is man's declaration to the world that he has died with Christ, and has been raiseed with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12).

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost is a free gift from God, promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers, and received subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, 2:4, 19:1-7).

SANCTIFICATION
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. The Doctrine of Sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work of grace (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14).

DIVINE HEALING
Healing for the physical ills of the human body is an integral part of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, secured and made irrevocable by His blood, and is a benefit available to every member of the Body of Christ. Healing can be appropriated by faith in the Word of God, through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands (James 5:14-15; Mark 16:18; Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).

DIVINE PROSPERITY
Throughout the Bible, God promises and makes provision for prosperity to those who hearken unto Him and who walk in obedience to His Word. Prosperity is a covenant right and is available to everyone who has been born-again and therefore entered into that covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 8:18; 28:11-13; Malachi 3:10-12; Joshua 1:7-8; Proverbs 3:9-10; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19).

THE RETURN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST
We Believe in the Blessed Hope (Rapture)“received of the Lord: (John 14:3), “caught up to meet the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:17), and “gathered together unto the Lord” (2 Thess. 2:1).: (I Cor. 15:51-52) (Luke 21:36)
Following the Great Tribulation, Jesus shall take His place on earth as King of kings and Lord of lords, and together with His saints,(Jude 14 )who shall be kings and priests, shall reign a thousand years (1 Timothy 6:14-15; Revelation 17:14, 19:11-16, 20:6).

HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION
The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Jesus Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal (Hebrews 9:27, 10:29; Revelation 19:20).
