Researching Our Pentecostal Apostolic History


Finding out where we have come from as Apostolics (outside of the bible) is not an easy task.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the history of Pentecostal revivals, former organizations, pioneers of Pentecost, materials and writings of founding fathers, and other questions about our past? Do you know why we are not only Pentecostal, but are Apostolic, as well?

There is a website that has answers and resources to many questions about who we are and where we have come from.

Check it out at http://www.apostolicarchives.com

(As with any source, we suggest you research and check with other
sources to verify the accuracy of the information on any website.)

The Value of a Soul! A Complete Sunday School Lesson You Can Use. Authored by Patrice Smith – PCAF Member.


Author Patrice Smith has written a timely Sunday school lesson, entitled: “The Value of a Soul.” She delves into answering many questions including, “what is a soul worth?” and “why are all souls valuable to God?” Patrice has shed light on this rarely talked about and informative matter. You may want to take a Sunday and break from your traditional classes to teach on this eye-opening subject! Try holding classes during the week or on one Bible class night (with your pastor’s permission, of course) if Sundays are not convenient.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE LESSON:

It is society’s practice to judge people based on externals (i.e., looks, wealth, titles, education, profession, zip codes, etc.) It is probably safe to say we have all judged someone based on externalities or what society deems as important. Or…we may have been the one who was ignored or overlooked because we did not measure up to someone’s standards. Every day, people are mistreated, ignored, and made fun of because they look a certain way or lack resources to obtain a so-called “good” lifestyle. We forget that behind every face (whether considered attractive or not), behind every body-type, behind every wealthy businessman or woman and behind every homeless person begging for money on the street corner — there is an invaluable soul. To overlook people or make them feel unwanted based on looks or societal status is, from God’s perspective, wicked and contrary to biblical principles. For the bible states that God is no respecter of persons, He rains on the just and the unjust. John 3:16 points out this very fact, that “God so loved…He gave His only begotten Son.”

“Improving Our Self-Image” – A Complete Sunday School Lesson Authored by PCAF Member Patrice Smith


This excellent author has written on a powerful subject dealing with our self-esteem. Far too many people who belong to Christ suffer from feelings of inferiority in so many areas! Patrice has this material available for both adults and young adult classes. You may want to take a Sunday and break from your traditional classes to teach on this eye-opening subject! If Sundays are not convenient, try holding classes during the week or on one Bible class night.

Here is a sample of “Improving Our Self-Image”:

“Improving Our Self-Image How is your self-esteem? How do you see yourself? Are you guilty of comparing yourself to friends, relatives or celebrities? What do you really think about you? Do you long to be taller or shorter? Feel you’re not pretty or handsome enough? Are you struggling to lose weight hoping to look like that super super-model you admire? Maybe you’re on the other end of the spectrum and want to gain a few pounds. Unfortunately, in our society physical features are much more important than what we have on the inside, especially our spirituality.  For many people there is a constant pressure for perfection, to meet the physical standards that the media holds in high regards. Looking sexy, thin, constantly being told you need to have this hair color, drive this car and wear these clothes in order to fit in or meet our social standards. Everybody has some level of self-esteem. We all have thoughts about who we are, good, bad or indifferent. Our self-worth is often based on our physical features, the money we make, our position in life, college degrees.

“Saved?” A Tract By PCAF Author for ICEA.


ICEA – Tract…Free for Your Use

Saved (Generic Tract)This user-friendly tract is created for PCAF members. The tract is inexpensive to have printed.  Customize this tract on the back page with your church name, address, pastor’s name, order of services, etc. You may print out the master tract, place your information on the back page (inside the blank box), and then scan into your computer. (Please do not alter any other contents in the tract.) Once you have scanned the tract into your computer, you may print out copies on your local computer or have copies made at your print shop.

Here are the following steps to print, let’s say, 100 tracts on your local printer. The master has two tracts set up on an 8.5 x 11 page, so you will print 50 tracts from page 1. Then, place your pages back into your printer the correct way in order to print an additional 50 pages on the opposite side, using page 2. Once you have the printing done, simply cut the pages in two to have a quantity of 100 tracts.

PLEASE CLICK ON THE TEXT BELOW TO
VIEW AND PRINT OUT THE TRACT:
Saved (Generic Tract II)

NOTE: The masters (page 1 and 2) have
two tracts printed on the same page.
Print them the way they are, on both sides,
then cut the 8.5 x 11 page in half
to give you double the quantity.
