Keep Moving Forward : Taking Ground

Our focus for our final week in our 21 Day Fasting and Prayer journey is on ‘Taking Ground’, where we take bold steps forward and experience victory in different areas of our lives.

Even when everything around us seems to come to a standstill, God’s desire is not that we shrink back or remain passive.  Rather, His desire is that we continue to advance and more forward, taking new territory and stepping into the plans and purposes that He has for us in this season.  God is constantly doing a new thing in our lives, and we need to recognize what He is doing, and submit wholeheartedly to His leading.

This week, allow God to reveal truths to you, change your perspective and position you to step forward! (from ‘Forward’ – 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer – Bible App)

Keep Moving Forward : Being Led By Holy Spirit

The second week’s focus during our 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer is about Being Led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised us that He would send the Holy Spirit into our lives as our helper, comforter and guide. To step forward into God’s plans and purposes for our lives, we need to develop a growing reliance on the Holy Spirit. It begins by first getting to know Him, learning to discern His voice, and are rely on Him to lead us. When we do so we become empowered to fulfill our God-given purpose in our lives.  Learn all about in this Sunday’s service and as we celebrate communion together.

We are living in days when many people are struggling to find their way in life.  There is so much confusion about what to believe and what, if anything is really true.  At the core of the Christian faith are five powerful truths that have shaped the history of the Church and continue to guide believers today. These truths, known as the Five Solas, capture the essence of the Christian life and faith. Discover the power of these ‘onlys’ in this Sunday’s message and let them become the foundation that shapes your life.  We will conclude with celebrating Communion together as a tangible expression of these truths.  Be sure to invite someone to join you in coming to church this Sunday!

The Power Of Thanksgiving

It’s time to give thanks with a grateful heart for all that God has provided and done this year. The Thanksgiving holiday weekend has arrived and we are set to celebrate in two big ways at PPT this Sunday!  The epic adventure of the Kingdom Assignment comes to a conclusion and we will be celebrating all that God has done.  Learn what happened when some fifty people took up the challenge of putting into practice the truth taught in the Parable of the Talents by taking a  $100 bill and investing it for a ‘kingdom cause’ asking God to multiply it. You have heard some of the stories throughout the summer but wait until hear the accumulative total of what God did!   

Be sure to come ready to celebrate the goodness of God! 

Secondly, as an act of thanksgiving, we are asking everyone to bring a special Thanksgiving Harvest Offering that will go towards retiring our church mortgage.  You can use the specially designed envelopes in the lobby or just mark your regular envelope with the words ‘Thanksgiving’.  We will be receiving this separate offering at the end of the service, after Communion in a crescendo of praise and thanksgiving to God who provided it all to us. 

Note there will be no Pastor’s Chat this Sunday evening. Take this Thanksgiving holiday weekend to enjoy some additional family time together.
