Grace House Update from Pastor Eddie
THIS SUNDAY MORNING
Hello Grace House Family,
Wow, it has been a wonderful week. I
am so grateful for the way the Holy Spirit is moving among our people. How can I say this.....I was rocked by God this past Monday. It was such a powerful encounter. I look forward to sharing it with you on Sunday morning. Watch out, waves of glory are on the way. Please be in prayer for God's plans and purposes to come forth during this season. It seems that there is a definite increasing in intensity. The time is now. The doors are opening. The river is rising. Let's all determine that we
will step forward into the invitations of God with willing and obedient hearts.
Love you all,
Pastor Eddie
A NEW SERIES
SUNDAY - FEB. 9, 16, AND 23
Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice," So there you have it. Jesus clearly taught that his followers have the ability to hear his voice. How does God speak to us? I am excited to teach on hearing God's voice. We will learn together several different ways God speaks to us. Topics like the Bible, the Spirit, spiritual gifts, dreams and visions and more will be a part of what we explore
God's together in this important and life-changing subject. Knowing what God has already spoken and the ways He continues to speak is instrumental to our growth in Christ and being able to discern God's will and direction for us in times of decision. You will hear powerful stories of how a word from God changed the entire direction of one man's life and his entire family, how a dream rescued someone from certain death, how a prompting of the Holy Spirit enabled a woman to receive a miracle she
had prayed for over 40 years, and many other such testimonies. This is the series that will help you to be better equipped to hear the voice of God. Please make preparations to be with us during this fascinating study.

This is a great time to get connected....
We are so grateful for the togetherness that our life groups are enjoying.
Our Life Groups Ministry is touching lives. I rejoice to hear about how our groups are praying for one another, ministering the Word to one another, going places together, building deep relationships. This is an important part of the family life of belonging to a local congregation.
If you have questions about
being in a group or leading a group, just get with Hillard and Charlotte Matthews who lead our Life Groups ministry.
You are now able to view all the options on our new Life Groups website at LIFEGROUPS.INFO Please check it out!

These will be used in different ways such as posting them here in my weekly update or sharing them in a Sunday service, Please state as briefly as you can but with enough information to help people understand just what the Lord has done for you. Send your story or testimony to Mikki and me at a new email address we have created just for these testimonies which is
