God wants to give you an abundant and fruitful life.

In a country like ours it’s pretty easy to accumulate a bunch of stuff. And still feel unsatisfied. You may have never thought of it like this before, but that desire for more is actually from God. It’s just that we misdirect it to things, instead of to Him and the abundant and fruitful life that He desires for us. And so we feel deep down like there has got to be more to life than this.

Jesus told some of His friends, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.” Fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, and goodness. Being in relationship with Jesus brings the truly abundant life that we all want. It brings that much sought after satisfaction.

Jesus is inviting you today to the abundant life.

Join us for a special series of services on September 15, 17, and 19 with guest speaker Michael Easter that will focus on healing, deliverance, miracles, and Spirit baptism. If you need a miracle, please come expecting. If you need to receive the Holy Spirit, or know someone who does, this is the time!

We had a great back-to-school service last Sunday night! Hopefully everyone is settling back into their routines. This is a great time to renew consecrations and make sure you have regular times of prayer, fasting, and Bible reading in your schedule.

We are currently in our twenty-one days of prayer and fasting for our revival. Take time to intercede for our revival services. Please remember to pray for the sale of our building when you pray.

Victory Report!

• Clifton Edmondson, invited by Leatha Rattler, was baptized in Jesus’ name.

We have special revival services scheduled with Michael Easter on September 15, 17, and 19. These services will focus on healing, deliverance, miracles, and Spirit baptism. If you need a miracle, please come expecting. If you need to receive the Holy Spirit, or know someone who does, this is the time!

Monday, August 23, we will begin 21 days of prayer and fasting to prepare for these services. Everyone is encouraged to pray daily for our special services. Additionally, please join the following corporate prayer meetings when possible: 30 minutes before evening services in the prayer rooms; Friday night prayer meetings, from 8 pm to 10 pm in the sanctuary; and a special all-church prayer meeting on Wednesday, September 8. Pray for the following: the free-flowing move of God's Spirit, for God to lead you to people who need Him, for the effectiveness of our advertising campaign, and for those who have known the Lord but who are not living for Him.

Everyone is also encouraged to participate in regular fasting during this time. It is recommended that everyone who is able take one day of fasting each week during these three weeks. Others may want to fast more.

Last Sunday night, small commitment cards were passed out that provide room for three names to be listed. Each person was asked to write down the names of three people they would invest in by praying for them, sharing their testimony with them, and inviting them to church. If you did not receive a card, they are available in the foyer.
