What Does the Holy Spirit of God Do in Your Life?

Words of Encouragement

Thank You, God for Everything

By Helen Steiner Rice

 

Thank You God, for everything--

the big things and the small--

For every good gift comes from God,

the Giver of them all,

All too often we accept,

without any thanks or praise,

The gifts God sends as blessings

each day in many ways.

And so at this time we offer up a prayer

To thank You, God, for giving us

a lot more than our share.

First, thank You for the little things

that often come our way--

The things we take for granted

and don’t mention when we pray--

Oh, makes us more aware, dear God,

of little daily graces

That comes to us with sweet surprise

from never-dreamed-of places…

And help us to remember that

they key to life and living

is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks

and every day Thanksgiving.

Generous Missions Contribution

The following is a personal hand-written note from the President of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Dr. Gary M. Benedict. He wrote this note in response to the generous missions contribution of $2,100 that Pastor brought with him to our General Council in Tampa Bay, Florida in June.

“Alan,

Thank you and the good people of the church in San Bernardino for the generous support of Great Commission Sunday. It is a great blessing and a huge encouragement.

God Bless You,

Gary”

Kid’s Club

Introducing our newest ministry…Kid’s Club. Kid’s Club is a fun place for children to learn about God.

Kid’s club takes place on Tuesday night while our Adult Bible Discussion class meets. We are continuing to explore the themes we briefly touched on during vacation bible school.

Right now, we are focusing on the theme of Love…God’s Love and how God loves us. Each week, the children listen to a brief story, expand on the story with a craft to remind them of the story and the receive a memory verse to memorize.

What does the Holy Spirit Of God Do in Your Life?

For the last several weeks, Pastor Rosenberg has been preaching about what the Holy Spirit does in our lives. If you would like to listen to the sermons, please click on the picture which will take you to our SoundCloud Page. Below is an outline of seven of things that the Holy Spirit does in our lives.

 

 

1. The Holy Spirit is God’s magnifying mirror inside of you to show you to yourself, through conviction of sin. (John 16:8-9)

2. The Holy Spirit performs a radical make-over of your character and personality, so we will be like Christ. (Galatians 5:22)

3. The Holy Spirit reveals the permanent location of where we live now…heaven. (Ephesians 2:4-6)

4. The Holy Spirit reveals your identities and enables you to be who you are. Our new identities include but not limited to:

a. ADOPTED by God the Father (Romans 8:14-17)

b. AMBASSADOR for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20)

5. The Holy Spirit controls your mind. He becomes a “firewall” to keep the devil from hacking in and stealing God words. He is like a filter that protects our minds from being messed up the devil. (Romans 8:6-9)

6. The Holy Spirit is our Guide to guide us to our individual appointed destinations. One common destination we all have as adopted children of God is the land of freedom from the prison of our bad memories. (Luke 4:14-19)

7. The Holy Spirit infuses supernatural power into our lives for specific purposes.            (Acts 1:6-8)

a. Power for constant prayer

b. Power for passionate proclamation of Christ

SoundCloud Ministry Update

On March 3, 2013, we launched our Soundcloud ministry. This ministry allows Pastor’s sermons to be around the world on the world wide web. The message becomes available immediately on Sunday thanks to the technical expertise of Mark Ragan and Ira Barker. So far, 133 people have listened. We don’t know how many people have actually accepted Christ from these sermons. But we have had people from the Netherlands and Argentina listen.

Honor thy Father and Mother

It is no surprise that there is a special day in which we honor our Mothers and Fathers, but as Christians we are commanded by God to honor thy Father and Mother. Well as a church we did just that in the month of May and June.

For Mother’s, we had a Mother’s Day Banquet in May. The men of the church had the pleasure of serving the women of the church. Ed Maxwell gave a wonderful concert and each woman in attendance received a rose.

 

For Father’s, we had a BBQ. Every father in attendance received a special gift that reminds them to be the Man that God created them to be Everyone had a blast at these events and we had great turn outs. We had about 25 people for both events.
