Scripture Reading: John 14:15-21
Topic: “The Power of The Holy Spirit”
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today we witnessed the wonderful blessing of answered prayer—Howard Bates fully recovered, from the tic-induced parasite that made him gravely ill and hospitalized him, and was able to worship with us in person today!! Please continue to pray for healing and strength for Dennis Watson who is making great progress as a result of the physical therapy that he is receiving at Manor Care in Sewell. And please know that you remain in our prayers as well. Our theme today was the power of the Holy Spirit and we focused on two key words that Jesus used to explain the work of the Spirit: Lives and Realize. I hope you will be inspired by the power with which the Holy Spirit sustained Miriam Ibrahim when her life and the lives of her children were in great peril at the hands of extremist radical Muslims in the Sudanese government. During these times of uncertainty we can be sure that His Spirit will help us and guide us with a supernatural power that is well beyond our own capabilities. One other note of celebration: Our parking lot was full today and we enjoyed our largest regular Sunday morning attendance (27) since the Lord led Sandy and me to Aura over two years ago. Be blessed and be a blessing, Pastor Jeff
