Matthew 6:26-27. “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?”
Dear PCF family, this past Sunday we ventured into the Gospel and what it means to us. I hope you get a chance to review that sermon because this coming Sunday, April the 28th, we are going to continue down that path further to gain an even deeper understanding of the Good News. As Christians, we must fully understand the Gospel to enjoy what Jesus has done for us. A winning lottery ticket means nothing if you don’t understand how to redeem it! I highly recommend that you spend some time in the book of Acts which will give you a great foundation of what the first churches looked like and how the message of the Gospel was preached. It was preached in power of the Holy Spirit. It was based on the the completeness of what Jesus accomplished on the cross for you and me.
Our calendar:
- Tonight, Men’s group 6:30 pm
- Wednesday, Choir Rehearsal 6:30pm open to all who want to worship with us
