SHINING STAR NEWSLETTER

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. Romans 6:22

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, 

I pray all is well with you. I'm excited to see so many of you at our Sunday Morning BLAST Worship Service. We are coming back more and more into fellowship in the midst of the pandemic. 2 years ago, we were totally socially distant and confined to do ministry in virtual spaces. But thanks be unto God, we are coming back in greater numbers. I'm thrilled to see the people of God and our children back in 60 Minutes/Sunday School.

It's so important that we worship, fellowship, and serve together. At the same time, I'm praying that we continue to grow our Wednesday Bible Study, at 12:00 Noon and 6:30pm. I'm praying to see more and more of you there. 

I'm happy to share my 5th and newest book. "Is God's Name Really Jehovah???" 

(I did a hyperlink on the title- this is the link)

 https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Name-Really-Jehovah-ebook/dp/B0B5F8NWWC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1A605Z5X6ZXRM&keywords=is+God%27s+name+really+Jehovah&qid=1656874551&s=books&sprefix=is+god%27s+name+really+jehovah%2Cstripbooks%2C91&sr=1-1  

In this short book, I discuss Biblical, logical, historical, and spiritual reasons behind the name of God. It is available on Kindle and Amazon.com. There will also be copies available at the church.

Building Lives Around Sound Truth

     In pursuit of the WORD, we intend to have a BLAST in our WORSHIP SERVICE!

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

"But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27 NKJV

When Jesus uttered these words, “all things are possible with God,” he was speaking about salvation for all. Only GOD can save. 

There are many examples in GOD’s WORD where he performed the impossible, like raising Lazarus from the dead, parting the Red Sea, having the walls of Jericho tumble down because of praise and worship, the virgin birth, but it doesn’t end there. GOD performs impossible feats today! HE is still in the miracle working business; when the doctor checks the scans multiple times before returning to tell you there is no cancer, when he sends just the right amount of money you need via anonymous donation, or when he delays you in traffic so you can avoid an accident. GOD protects, provides, heals, saves, and so much more!  Just like HE has done in the past, HE is still doing now and will continue to do in the future.

“You are the God who performs miracles; You display your power among the peoples.” Psalm 77:14

The scriptures today reflect the amazingness of GOD! GOD’s infinite mercy and love, makes impossible situations possible. Where is HE doing the impossible in your life today? Are you Building your Life on HIS Sound Truth?

If you know of any member that is not attending worship service, please inform the A&D Ministry so we can reach out to them.
