“Be not far away, O Lord; you are my strength; hasten to help me . ... I will declare your Name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregati­on I will praise you . ... For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; but when they cry to him he hears them . ... All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall bow before him. For kingship belongs to the Lord; he rules over the nations.” (Psalm 22:18, 21, 23, 26-27)

FAITH HARVEST FULL GOSPEL CHURCH

400 Alamo Street Sweetwater

Resurrecti­on Sunday celebratio­n is almost here. I am excited to tell you about the Savior of the world. “Jesus the Son of God”, This same Jesus died so you can live. In this world we live in we see the pain and suffering of so many of those around us and the fear and possibilit­y of a world at war.

These things may be concerning to you, but they haven’t taken the Lord by surprise. God knows the future of everyone and everything, and you need a Savior. Jesus offers us help here as well as eternity with Him.

John 16:33 tells us “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulatio­ns; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Jesus has overcome the daily struggles in this life and He wants you to be an overcomer too. Say yes to Him today. If you let Him come into your life he will save you and give you His abundant, perfect peace.

This Resurrecti­on Sunday, find a place to worship Him. If you don’t have a home church, we would like to invite everyone to come and celebrate with us.
