MAY BULLETIN - POWER FROM HEAVEN

Vance Havner - The early church had none of the things that we think are so essential for success today - buildings, money, political influence, social status - and yet the Church won multitudes to Christ and saw many churches established throughout the Roman world.

Why? Because the Church had the power of the Holy Spirit energizing its ministry. They were a people who were ignited by the Spirit of God.

The same Holy Spirit power is available to us today to make us more effective witnesses for Christ. The ministry of the Spirit is to glorify Christ in the life and witness of the believer (John 16:14) and that is what is important.
Rev.Rachel (Senior Pastor)

"Good morning, Pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
"Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked.


"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the men and women who have died in the service."
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he finally managed to ask,
"Which one, the 9:00 or 10:30 service?
