Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times:
Assembly of God meets Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. Wednesday morning Bible study is at 10 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Hymn Sing is canceled until further notice.
Sermon for this week: The familiar story of David and Goliath is the basis for the next sermon in the “How To” series. While modern Christians don’t face 9-foot Philistines, life’s problems often seem as overwhelming as a looming giant with a sword as large as a cross beam. The Bible passages from 1 Samuel 17:22-26, 45-50 reveals David’s thought process and actions that led to a miraculous victory. David, apart from partnership with God’s strength, would have become food for the buzzards, just as Goliath predicted. From a natural perspective, lacking experience in combat tactics and physical prowess, David was sure to fail. But when David invited God into his impossible circumstance, the supernatural took place; he won the victory and became an inspiration to unlikely heroes for the rest of time.
Bible Study: Session four of the “Living Victoriously When Life is Tough” series, taken from 1 Peter, will challenge students to trust that God is aware of current world events Peter was writing to believers who were subject to ridicule, persecution and martyrdom. Many of the same societal ills and chaos they suffered are occurring today. Peter’s message is encouraging to all who feel challenged for their stand for Christ.
