    This is a message I preached for our Church’s 56th Anniversary but you can adapt it to your situation.

    INTRODUCTION: Today we celebrate 56 years as a Church. 56 years of preaching the Gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ. 56 years of standing on the fundamentals of the faith. 56 years of holding to the Baptist distinctives.

  • God’s Creative Work In The Church

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 5, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,236 views

    At Pentecost God sent his Holy Spirit, for the first time, to remain in believers forever. Since the Holy Spirit manifests through each believer, we cannot say "I don't have anything to offer." We also can't take the credit, since God does the work.

     | 3,882 views
