WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES: 
GENESIS; THE SPOKEN WORD
This week (8/28): 
"The Power to Call"
Scripture:  Genesis 12
 
I trust you all are doing well with your homework this week (see block below if you didn't get a card yesterday) and that you have been speaking life into the lives of others.  This Sunday we will watch as God speaks life into Abram and calls him to a distant land and in many ways into ministry.  The Lord tells Abram in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."  In this week's sermon, we will spotlight Abram's call to be a blessing to others.  What we will discover is that we have the same call, and we have the opportunity to be a blessing through the words that we speak. .
