Pioneer PulpitFebruary 22 – "Power of Weakness" – J-Fiah Reeves – Student Missions Sabbath ————— Prayer Promise"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." The U.S. Presidents John Glass February 17 is Presidents’ Day. But how is it we have one of these days anyway? It started as a day set aside to honor George Washington’s birthday. A former neighbor of mine used to talk about money as being a way of honoring presidents. He said you have to die before they put you on a greenback so he sarcastically called them “dead Presidents”. So far we have had 45 men in 47 presidencies, and yes, based on sociological studies, there is a definite carryover between the man in the Oval Office and what’s going on in the world around them. The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Tim. 2.1-4, “That we should offer prayers—intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and those in authority, so we can live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God, who wants all people to be saved and to know the truth.” It strikes me that one of the best ways of being political is to spend time praying for whoever is in office, be they the president, a congressperson, a governor, or even a mayor.

But sin disrupted this plan. God sent Jesus to redeem us and restore what was lost. Livestreaming Schedule9:00 AM ET - Pioneer at Worship Offering |
