“BLESSED BE”
What one thing should you do to grow as a Christian? Think carefully! WARNING…most answers mentioned usually include, the need to be more dedicated, to witness more, to read the Bible more, to pray more–in general, to do more things. These are wonderful things to do, however they are not the correct answer. Give up? Okay folks, the answer is FAITH. This was the focus of our Valentine’s Day Bible Study lesson.
The above clip caught a moment of this riveting Bible Study. Many sciptures were read and touched on, including (but not limited to) John 6:28-29, Galations 3:1-5 and 3:14, and Hebrews 11:1-40. The class emphasized that faith is the instrument for receiving the power of God in our lives; simply put, to believe in the one that was sent. Don’t abandon God when things don’t appear to go our way. Stay faithful! Church, although we are to be thankful for everything God has given us and blessed us with, we must not exercise faith in that…the faith must only be in God Himself.
We praise God for this lesson and pray that we will apply it to our lives in all aspects.
Yesterday’s service was awesome. The Children’s Church lesson was taught by Marquita Joyce. She posed the questions, “What does the Messiah mean to you?” Do you know how important he was? Do you understand the crucifixion? And lastly, What are some characteristics of Christ? The kids (up to age 12) pleasantly surprised, with very knowledgable answers. Often times, we don’t think our children are listening to what we say and teach, but they understand Christ’s sacrifice. In their own words, “Christ is brave, honest, and forgiving.” We are thankful for the teachers of Children’s Church and we express our gratitude to you. Keep up the great work!
During our 11:15 main service, Minister Eric Jones announced the launching of his new non-profit organization named “Daddy 5 Productions“. This company will produce, write, and direct Christian stage plays as well as mentor youth through drama and the arts. What a blessing Minister Jones! Continue to do the work of God, while using your God-given talents to serve Him.
Pastor Joyce preached a sermon he titled Cheer Up. Fellow Christians, we are a lot worse off than we think. We spend so much time and energy focusing on one area of our lives, that we neglect the many other areas that needs work. Remember, it is not our own actions that save us; we’re saved by His grace…period! During this time of fasting and prayer, let’s focus on and pray for the countless areas that we continue to fall short in. We have limitless potential in Christ who died for our sins. Let’s get to work and make Him proud!
