Message for June 5, 2022 from Pastor Shirley

Acts 2:1 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all together in one place”. 

The Church began on the Day of Pentecost.  The word translated “church” comes from two Greek words that together mean “called out from the world for God.”  The word is used throughout the Bible to refer to all those who have been born again.  The word church, when used to reference all believers everywhere, is associated with the Body of Christ.  

Ephesians 1:1:22 “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church”. 

On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit filled the Church with power and added 3,000 new believers.  On the day Pentecost the Holy Spirit of God came to indwell and empower those who had gathered.  Pentecost is a present empowerment and an ongoing movement.  The power of man or hell will never stop this mighty moving force.                                           

   -The Blood Bought Church-

And we are in the that army of the Lord

We’ve been washed in the blood and we are going forth

There is nothing that can stop this mighty moving force

With a shout of praise, a two-edged sword
