“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? . . . Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” James 2:14, 18. We just finished a study of the Book of James. One of the main themes in this letter is that our…

If you missed yesterday’s morning andor evening revival services you missed out on a mighty blessing!!! Rev. Tom Atkins has been preaching on surrendering everything to God and how to filled with the Holy Spirit. Some people get nervous when you start talking about the Holy Spirit (Ghost). The only problem with that is He is as much a part of the…

I had often wondered exactly what this verse in James 5 meant: Confess your faults one to another,  and  pray  one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. I think I overlooked that first sentence and only thought of the last one. Let’s face it, no one wants to confess our faults or…

Last night was our 2nd night of prayer. And even though it was raining, several people came out to pray. We began the service with songs of praise and worship as we had the night before. Then Pastor Paul gave us a list of questions and he went over scripture that we needed to think and pray about. I remember that several…

Last night we started our week of prayer services in preparing for our Revival this weekend. Before any great movement of God, there has been prayer, prayer, prayer. PRAYER IS SIMPLY COMMUNICATING WITH GOD. So why People Don’t Pray More? Not sure how to pray. Get bored or distracted while trying to pray. Think requests are too small for God. Not sure…

Last night was the beginning of our week of prayer leading up to our revival this coming Sunday and Monday. There was a holy hush as I came in and found a seat. We began the service with an informal time of praise and worship music which set the mood for teaching and scripture reading by Pastor Paul. In between each one,…

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16 I would like to take this opportunity to invite the entire church family to join us for a Revival Service on Sunday 9/15 at 11:00am and at 7:00pm and on…

Before I became a staff member and started working part time here at the church, I’m ashamed to say I never entered our beautiful prayer room. I knew it was there, but I guess my excuse was that I was too busy to spend any time exploring the interior of the prayer room. That I say with deep regret. Don’t misunderstand, I…

James tells us that, “…faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26). In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable about talents given to three servants and how they used – or didn’t use, those talents. For the two servants that used their talents for work, the master responds with the words, “well done, good and faithful servant.” For the one who didn’t…
