Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times:
Sunday morning at 10:30 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2; Wednesday morning Bible study is currently on break. The Hymn Sing will be held Sunday, Jan. 22, in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby at 6 p.m.
Sermon for this week: Pastor Chuck Franco will present the next part in the “What is Truth?” series with a sermon titled “Our Healing God” from Isaiah 53:4-5.
While many theological points and doctrines can be argued, a personal and undeniable act of healing cannot be discounted. One was once sick; now they are not. One once was mentallytormented, nowthey are not. One was enslaved to a chemical addiction, now they are not. In some instances, God intervenes in a miraculous way that is not assisted by any human medical knowledge, practice or advice. In some instances, God partners with medical providers to bring healing. In other instances, the afflicted is not completely healed until they have passed from this life and left their mortal body behind. The indisputable fact remains that God is capable of divine healing, and that benefit is active today.
Bible Study: What would change if one’s default response to problems was faith instead of fear? Cultural influences, the media, and politicians, whichever side one favors, use fear to win their argument. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given us the spirit of fear.” So, if it is not from God, why do Christians entertain unhealthy fear? “Fearless,” by Max Lucado, is a Bible study with life-changing possibilities. Discover with other LWers how to be victorious over the destructive effects of fear through Bible study, discussion and personal application.
