Prayer Promise
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV

"Great Revival"—What Fire Is That?
PASTOR'S BLOG
I’ve been brooding over that two-word phrase we shared last Sabbath in the opening of “American Apocalypse." Here’s the quotation: “When we as a people understand what this book [Revelation] means to us, there will be seen among us a great revival” (TM 113). So what would such a “great revival” look like? Acts 2 is the dynamite narrative of the Holy Spirit’s Day of Pentecost outpouring. For ten days 120 followers of Jesus have been gathered in the Upper Room praying together, confessing together, bonding in the Spirit together—earnestly claiming the promise Jesus made to them days before He returned to heaven: “‘. . . wait for the gift My Father promised, which you have heard Me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit’” (Acts 1:4-5).

Family, Fun, and Faith!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FAMILY LIFE COMMITTEE
Though there may be many unknowns and chaos in our world right now, the home can be a source of calm and stability for us and our children. Parents set the tone for the home. As school begins after many months of being home, it is vital to set a household schedule and make sure to include quality family time. Give hope to your kids that some of the current chaos won’t last forever. Though we know we are in the last days, the Lord promises He will not forsake us.
