UPDATE FROM PASTOR EDDIE - Friday, March 8, 2013

Published: Fri, 03/08/13

Think About It...

"When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want?

Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter most now?"

~ Max Lucado

This Sunday's Sermon-
CUT TO THE HEART

It is an amazing thing when the Lord moves deeply upon the human heart through the power of His Spirit and the speaking of His Word. We will see how this operates and how we can move in a responsive way to see powerful God happenings in our lives.

Invite a friend to come with you this Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

Remember, you can hear Previous Sermons here.

Wes Rutherford to Minister

We are proud of Wes Rutherford and how God is using him. I have seen this on our mission trips, at our Men's Encounters, and in his day to day walk. Wes has a passion for Christ and a love for people that is contagious. He will be ministering in our mid-week service this week. Please be in prayer for Wes and come and receive what the Lord will share through him.

Have You Been Baptized?

We had the privilege of baptizing a 20 year old young man this past Wednesday night before the service started. Our men's group on Tuesday ministered to Clinton who was led to our men's group. What a joy to see how excited he is in following Christ. We have left the baptistry up and it is ready to be used this Sunday. If you desire to be baptized, then please let us know. Just email me at: eddie@gracehouse.info

Men's Encounter Was Awesome!

The Men's Encounter this past weekend was absolutely awesome and what a time we had at the Celebration Service at Grace House this past Sunday night. It culminated with seeing several men baptized at the end of the service. Yeah God! I encourage all our men to consider going through an Encounter weekend.

Joel Ali Preaching at Grace House - March 24th

Bishop Joel Ali will be ministering at Grace House on Sunday, March 24th. We are looking forward to having Bro. Joel with us. Our team of 18 was in Trinidad with his congregation last Spring and look forward to reconnecting once again. Please pray and do everything you can to be at the service. I shared earlier today with a fellow pastor that "Bro. Joel is high octane!"

Fervent Life Conference

Please be in prayer about the upcoming Fervent Life conference which the ARK is hosting on April 11-14 here in Florence at our facility. This is a wonderful time to be part of a high energy and dynamic gathering of radical believers.

Mission Carriacou - Mid- April

Please be praying for our mission team that is heading to Carriacou in April. We are excited about the opportunity to minister to the precious people there and on Petite Martinique. Pray particularly for Sam Lerch as he works on all the logistics of the trip. It will be a blast for Jesus I am sure.

Have A Laugh....

A little boy found the old family Bible and started thumbing through the pages. As he was turning the yellowed pages, a pressed tree leaf fell out.

He exclaimed, "Hey, this must be where Adam and Eve left their clothes!"
