We get to take another glimpse again inside the early church and we find
some incredible things takin place in its infancy that didn’t last forever.
But from it we can learn some valuable lessons and we can see clearly
the ideal church at its birth and bring these transferable truths to bear
right here at Petal FBC. Remember we are not trying to recreate the
early church because that is impossible any more than we can go back
and make Petal FBC like it was in its founding almost 70 years ago!
We see this Church was a Community of Faith that the Lord as using in
extraordinary ways – what can we see and how do we know that is true?
Courage in making the righteous decision isn’t always the right decision. We always need to start at the place of being people of courage who start towards the righteous decision and as we seek the Lord we discover what is the right righteous decision to make.
There is no greater sense of unity than we come and
pray together and ask the Lord to put us on the same page! Have you
experienced some of those moments. Oh that Petal FBC would be
like the early church and pray together in unity! And because of
their prayer and the unity of their prayer – the Lord was pleased to
answer it and does so in a powerful way! Division hinders the church
and robs us of the spiritual power we so desperately need!
Toni Marino is a precious young lady who is battling Leukemia for the 4th time. She recently made the decision to ask Jesus into her heart, so we wanted to celebrate with her! This video shows her baptism and a little one-on-one with Toni and Brother Brad. We are asking everyone to please fast at least one meal a week to pray and plead with God for Toni's healing! If you would like to help the Marino family, please visit our Facebook page or contact us at the Church Office 601.545.3198
They returned to their fellowship (perhaps they had already been praying
for them and their release – How do we know that? Acts 12:5
What do men of courage do after facing difficult moments – run and
hide? No way – they go back to their Church Family and do what they
had always done. This is why they were men of courage.
The context from last week, Peter’s response to the question, really
finishes his sermon the next day to the Sanhedrin council.
This was in response to what Peter had been sharing with them in a
sense of presenting the message to the council. Luke 21:15 We see this
coming true right before our very eyes.
