Wednesday:
Morning service:
Word study: We started the study with Hebrews 11. Faith is a fundamentally part of belief in Christ. Faith allows us to step out on God’s word. This allows us to walk closer to God strengthens our belief and faith. It is time for us all to grow, both as a church and as people. We each have a job to do for Christ. We have to help each other reach other people. We have to be supportive of our brothers and sisters as we do our own jobs for Christ. Christ gives us the authority to do his work.

Wednesday Afternoon:
The first person to teach this afternoon was Norris Purifoy. There is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. The sprit allows us to have that close communication with God. It is the one the looks after on our journey. We must not run ahead of the plan of God. It is important to have the close communication with God though his sprit and prayer. God has given us a job, but he also gives us instructions. John is coming back to give us the fullness of the gospel so that we can take it to the nations of this earth. It is responsibility to take the gospel to the people and build the temple. The closer we are to God, the more that Satan pulls at us. It is a struggle that we will have to the rest of our lives.

The second person to teach this afternoon is Darren Bellamy. God does not give us anything that we cannot handle. These trials and tribulations that we have to go through in our daily life are to test us to see how we are going to react. We have to be thankful for these trials because they strengthen us and make us closer to God. We need to clean ourselves of our sins. We have to prepare ourselves and our hearts before we ask God to forgive us. We have to be sincere in our request and want to change. We need let God judge those that do us harm, and not hold the grudge or retaliate. We need to love everyone, no matter what they do to us. God always makes sure that justice is served. It might not happen during this life, but it will be happen. God is in controle.
