A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR
Bro Hugh
God is calling His body, the Church, to unite and move into position. God is mounting an attack upon the Kingdom of Darkness through the Church. Concerning the fellowship of the mystery (Eph. 3:10) to the intent that now, unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places, might be known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God. Paul said that these things were a mystery, hidden in God, from the beginning of the world to be revealed in this day. (Eph. 6:10) he said, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”. The power of His might is the mighty Holy Spirit. (Zech. 4:6) The Lord says that it is not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.
The Church is the body of Christ in the world today. It is just as important today as Jesus’ physical body was to him during His Earth walk or ministry 2,000 years ago. The scriptures say in (Eph 1:22-23) that Jesus is the head over all things to the Church, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Jesus is waiting for His body to take their position.
The Church is a product of Jesus’ workmanship created in Himself, Christ Jesus, for good works, that we may walk in them (Eph 2:10). He said the whole building, or Church, being fitted together, grows into a Holy Temple in the Lord, in whom you are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit (Eph 2:19-22). The Church is being fashioned and fitted for service. It will take each of us doing our part, causing the Body of Christ to be built up and in so doing bringing much glory to God. (Eph 4:11-16) says that the whole body is joined and knit together by that which each joint supplies. We need each other. There is not one insignificant part of the Body of Christ. In (1 Cor. 12:27) Paul says “we are individual members of the Body of Christ and because we are the Body of Christ we are one body comprised of many parts”. Now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleases. The Church is a multi facetted entity made up of many, many different parts working together to accomplish His will in the Earth.
You are a part, a very important part. Without you in your position the Body of Christ stands incomplete. Rise up! Take your place! Let the Church go forth. Amen

A MESSAGE FROM OUR YOUTH LEADERS
Sam & Emily Hutchinson
‘We will be fearless in the battle of the lives of the youth of today’
John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for his friends”
Jesus Christ is the Son of God; He is the Alpha and Omega, the Great I Am, the Mighty God by whom all things were created and in whom all things exist.
Jesus, who is the head of all things, humbled Himself in such a way that the human mind couldn’t even bear the thought of it. He came into this Sin-Cursed world and actively partook in our sufferings. Even as we are flesh and blood, He shared in the same; He became man and dwelt among us. He shared in the sufferings we brought among ourselves through our rejection of his Holy instruction. As if that weren’t enough to convince us of His love and concern for us, Jesus, the immortal God and Giver of life, gave up His Own life upon the cross in the greatest act of love the world has ever known! In doing so he took our sins away, effectively nailing them to the cross Himself. So, He who gave life to all, tasted death for those condemned to it. This is God’s Love.
Powerhouse is averaging 15 to 18 youth on Wednesday Nights and 7 to 8 for Sunday school.
We are excited about this up-coming school year, and all the events we have in mind. We are going to need more volunteers for fun nights (movies, bowling, and concerts) and another jclub! More information coming soon! Keep Powerhouse in your prayers, we cannot do this without the prayers of our church body.
To Pastor Hugh for serving this congregation for one year!
To Linda and Rogers Sellers for planning and presenting the celebration of this Anniversary last weekend with a covered dinner lunch after the morning service.
To everyone that brought food. To quote Ron Weddell, there was no shortage of protein!
Let the listener hear what the spirit says to the churches. The Holy Spirit speaks in a still small voice. I stand at the door and knock, if any man hears my voice and open the door, I will come in.
(Rev. 3:20-22; I Kings 19:11-13)

The Seed Principal = 100% POTENTIAL
God – plans
Jesus – executes
Holy Spirit – reveals
Man – to glean the Harvest
Gain, retain & give; what you get, you give. The Word of God lives in us, Christ is the seed (Gal 3:16). The seed is the Word of God (Lk 8:11). The power that comes with the seed is the anointing. The seed will accomplish what God sends it for and prosper where it is sent. It will not return void (empty) it will do what He calls it to do. We have the potential to be a forest; the seed demands to be planted. His ways and thoughts are not ours, His are higher. Pray that God give you the ability and capacity to think like Him. (Ish 55:8-11).
The Word is the power of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh
If you’re missing the fruits, better check the roots! If the enemy can kill the roots the fruit is stopped and therefore no seeds. You’re not stopped, but the generations that you represent are.
SALVATION IS: preservation, deliverance, soundness, wholeness and healing.
Prosper (go forward and excel) in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers. The condition of your soul and your health are in conjunction with one another. Your health hinges on the condition of your soul. Everything in the kingdom is planted in you. Success starts on the inside and goes outward. Bring all thoughts captive. Hear the Spirit and agree with Him. A poor soul can be made prosperous; one put in the discipline of God.
EIGHT ELEMENTS OF A PROSPEROUS SOUL:
1. Hunger & thirst for righteousness (Matt 5:6).
2. Delight in the law of the Lord (Psalms 1:1-3).
3. Be Spirit minded which leads to life & peace (Rom 8:6).
4. Seek first the kingdom of God (Matt 6:33).
5. Confess to one another, pray for one another (James 5:16).
6. Bear one another’s burdens (Gal 6:1-10)
7. Put off the old man (Col 3:1-10)
8. Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise (Phil 4:8).
You are the master of the unspoken word,
but a servant to the spoken word.
We are a ministry of ministries… not here to build a church, but to build the kingdom of God. It will take everyone. Let’s do it together!
