Good afternoon PCF family and friends, today it’s rainy and gloomy so far but only from our current perspective. If we were able to jump on a jet and fly up above these clouds and rain, we would see that in reality it is a very bright sunny day with beautiful blue skies. Life can be like a rainy day sometimes but God’s perfect love and light are always shining brightly even if we cannot perceive it!
Tomorrow will be my best sermon…… until the next Sunday. I say that not because I am being arrogant or vain but because I trust that the Holy Spirit is always giving me the message that needs to be heard for that time. I trust that as much as I know and trust without a doubt that the sun is shining brightly above these clouds that we are experiencing today. I know it to be true because I have flown on days like this and have experienced breaking through clouds into a bright sunny day on several occasions while traveling on a plane. In the same way I rely on and trust and believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to give me the message and the words to speak on Sunday mornings.
Tomorrow, I will be teaching on an often misquoted bible text and I will get into the meat of Jesus’ message on the Law. I will examine this scripture’s powerful ramifications for our lives today. I hope you will trust God’s prompting and join me and others at 10:00am on Praise Community Fellowship Facebook live tomorrow morning.
Prayers:
- Mike Portell, who had a serious hand injury with a circular saw last week, we pray for full recovery and patience while healing is taking place. Mike shared some pictures of his poor hand after his surgery. All I can say is, “Oh that has to hurt!”
- Alene Schuette, who fell and fractured a vertebrae. We pray for release of pain and full recovery.
- Ron Jones, Ron is Rhonda Grammer’s father. He had a stroke and is in recovery. We ask for God’s healing grace and strength. Ron’s wife Carol has also been admitted to the hospital with heart failure symptoms so we also pray for her recovery and strength.
- I will have ankle surgery Monday afternoon your prayers are very appreciated for a fast recovery.
- All who are seeking a deeper relationship and deeper understanding of Jesus’ teachings.
- Courage to be bold for Jesus with our neighbors.
See you Sunday morning at 10:00am on Facebook live. Love, pastor kent
