Church Theme 2023
“Year of Miraculous Outpouring & Majestic Praise”
Exodus 15:6 , 11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 29:4; Psalm 111:3; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 77:4
Matthew 11:20-2; Acts 19:11; Acts 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 2:4
God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek Him and will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The songwriters said: I seek a miracle every day and I want to Praise Him.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: NEW BOOK OF STUDY
Since Wednesday, May 17th, we have started the study of 1 Kings. The study picks up with David making Solomon king to succeed him on the throne. Solomon had mixed results, with his wealth and wisdom being known worldwide. He built palaces and cities, and a beautiful temple.-The house of the Lord did not match. But while on the throne, he also allowed idol worship to creep into the kingdom. And after his death, a civil war tore the nation in two. Successive kings were mainly terrible, and the prophet Elijah had dramatic confrontations with King Ahab, who could forget Jezebel on the scene. Join us Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm.

Why not blog online with the Reverend Dr. J. Anthony Lloyd, Pastor, about Sunday's Sermon? Then, go to our church website or Facebook and begin the chat!
To chat with the Reverend, email him at: Pastor@gfccnet.org.
Sermon Title: “Against All Odds: In it to win it”
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17: 32-47
“FIRESIDE CHAT” QUESTIONS
- When Israel is in survival mode, what does she do right, and what does she do wrong?
- Why is it true: Avoiding problems, don't make them go away
- Are you facing something you tried to avoid but God called you
to confront?
- What is the danger of a spirit of apathy?
- Have you a David spirit about you when battles loom? Have you a David Spirit?
- When was the last time you had a vision of Victory? What does it look like?
- Is your thinking limiting your vision of Victory?
- Does your memory of God's past Victory in your life do anything for
the battle ahead of you?
- Do you have any anointed armon in your life?
- What is your working definition of “God’s Favor? Do you know how to use weapons of warfare that are not carnal but spiritual?
- Do you know what sanctified trash looks like and what it does?
You are listening to God’s Words and messages for you. Make a few personal notes as you listen. Then, revisit your notes during quiet time spent with the Lord over the coming week. Allow God to crystallize His truths in your life.
