The Weekend Report

This weekend has been busy, just like most are for us. Friday night was the Houston Metro West Sectional Back to School Youth Rally, hosted at GTPC. Then dinner afterwards with our good friends, the Creekmores. Saturday evening and night was spent bowling "50's Style" with the church family. We do these types of events as often as possible to promote unity and growth among the church family. They work! When the bowling was through some of us headed over to the 59 Diner and had more fun. We are very thankful for all that God is doing for us and among us.

Sundays at Gospel Truth Pentecostal Church (GTPC) are always a source of strength and encouragement. This week served no different! The adult Bible class was a reminder of God's ultimate authority and ability to answer by fire! The prophet Elijah was faithful before King Ahab. To the bystanders it seemed as though Elijah was all alone. He was not. The God of Abraham was with him and victory came with The Fire! I submit to you, when it seems like you are all alone, allow the consuming fire of The Holy Ghost to comfort you; HE will! Miracles, signs and wonders follow them that believe!

The Worship service was incredible. The momentum of the bible class fueled a continued yearning to be in His presence. The music department and praise team did a wonderful job complementing the move. We were charged with making sure our hearts and motives were pure before The Lord. Acts chapter 5, the story of Ananias and his wife Saphira warned us of the dangers of an un-guarded and un-repented heart and the way God can deal with it should He choose to. The altars were full as people turned their hearts toward God. The miracle worker was among us again! I count it such a blessing to be a part of the FAMILY of God!
