Assembly of God
Pastor Chuck Franco will continue the series on the Beatitudes with a sermon titled “Meekness is Not Weakness,” from Matthew 5:5. More contemporary translations use the word “humble” in this passage. Meekness and humility are not personality traits valued in modern culture, so why should Christians pursue them? Jesus often taught important lessons by using starkly contrasting thoughts. How and why would someone who is meek and humble inherit the whole earth? A humble spirit is not a sign of weakness, but rather the hallmark of one so at peace and confident with who they are in Christ that being prideful or overbearing is absent from their character. People are invited to explore how to integrate these God-honoring qualities with LW Assembly of God this Sunday, May 19, at 10:30 a.m.
The Wednesday Bible study will cover session six of “The Grave Robber,” by Mark Batterson, a study of the seven miracles recorded in the book of John. Read John 9:1-11, and be prepared to discuss “Never Say Never.” Jesus heals a blind man and answers his disciples who are asking the wrong question. What seems impossible is possible when Jesus is present. Student interaction is moderated by Pastor Chuck after the brief teaching video.
