Sunday Rest and Reflection!
Sunday August 31st, 2014
Dear Friends,
The month of August ends and Labor Day is Monday! How fast is our summer flying by! Fall is almost upon us! Gatherings with family and friends make this weekend special!
Make this day special by gathering with God’s people to worship, pray and hear His Word! Listen closely for God talking to you and drawing you closer! He has good plans for His people and as they follow the Spirit, they will be victorious in all they set their hands to do!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
August is flying by and Labor Day is just next week! As we reflect on our summer and the events of our world, we are reminded of our need for our Lord’s grace and protection. Our world is spinning towards judgement day and signs of the time of Christ’s return are on the news each day. Countries of the Middle East are in turmoil and war is spreading as well as persecution of Christ’s Bride, the Church! We must band together to encourage each other and stand against the wiles of our enemy, Satan. Jesus will soon appear for His Church!
Come join us at GSC for worship, Bible Study, prayer and the Word of God! His Spirit is moving on the earth and in the Church! These are exciting times for those who are strong in the Lord and centered on His Word!
In His Love,
Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
Praise the Lord for His marvelous Word! Praise Him for the glory of creation! Praise the Lord for His righteousness revealed in Jesus Christ, the final Word from God!
Today God’s people gather again to celebrate eternal life through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ! We gather united through our dependency on His shed blood, which alone can cleanse us from the power of sin and from sin’s penalty of eternal death. We gather to pray, study God’s Word, worship, and have fellowship with those on the journey of faith. Don’t miss out! Join in the celebration! The King is coming soon!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Today is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Assemblies of God! We are thankful to be a part of this movement that has sent ministers and missionaries around the world to preach the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit! We have grown from 314 at the initial assembly to over 67 million believers around the world! God has been gracious and is building His Church, of which our fellowship is but a small part!
Join us today to worship, pray, and seek His Face for renewed passion and power to take the Gospel to the lost of our own family, community and the world! Join us at church at 7:00 tonight for a live-stream of the final service of the Centennial Celebration in Springfield!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Summer is flying by and school begins soon! No education is complete without a thorough knowledge of God and His Word! The nation of Israel gathered to study God’s Word and to teach their children about the importance of faith. Without faith, we cannot please God! Do your family and the family of God a favor and gather with God’s people to worship, study His Word, and pray this day! Your own soul will be fed and refreshed, and your family will be encouraged by your example, and your church family will be blessed by your faithful example! Jesus is coming soon–and quickly (suddenly)!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
When we gather on the first day of the week, we declare our trust and dependence on God as our source of strength and hope! We acknowledge of our fear and respect of His great, love, and protection. In Him alone is safety and security, not in our money, our national military, or our own knowledge. We come together to worship Him, offer our tithes to support His world-wide mission to reach the lost, and to hear His Word!
May the Lord bless you today with faith that moves you to join with those worshiping our Lord! Faith without corresponding actions is dead!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Summer is flying by! What a blessing to see the crops growing and a harvest maturing! Gardens are producing all kinds of vegetables and fruits and sweet corn is delicious! What an opportunity to gather with God’s people and thank Him for the abundance we enjoy! He is the source of all blessings and we are indebted to Him! Worship, prayer, and a listening ear for His Word will bless you on Sunday! He is worthy of our gathering and praise!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
The days of summer fly quickly by! Our year is well into the last half and life happens every day. God has set up a rhythm of grace for His people to help them slow down and remember the One who provides all things to enjoy and who also is with each person during life’s troubles. This rhythm is the “Sabbath” rest. We are to work six days and then rest on one day and focus on God. We gather with His people to worship, pray, listen to His Word, and refresh our spirits. Christians meet on the first day of the week to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death and the grave! Join with God’s people today and enter God’s rhythm of grace! His “Sabbath rest” is available every day as you walk with Him!
In Christ’s Rest,
Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
What a wonderful week of celebration of freedom in our nation! We are truly blessed to live in the United States of America! God’s blessings here are not to be taken lightly!
We who belong to Jesus Christ gather each week on the first day of the week to worship, pray, and thank God for His blessings! We come to listen to His Word and open our hearts to humbly allow Him to transform our thinking to mirror His thinking. We come to have fellowship with Jesus around His table in Holy Communion, remembering His sacrificial death until He comes again in glory for His redeemed people! We will start a message series called “Seek First the Kingdom” on stewardship. Don’t neglect God’s gathering of His people today! We need each other and Him more and more as we see the end approaching!
In His Love,
Pastor John and Mary
