God Wants to Use You!

Each and every one of us is important, but often we don’t seem to realize the power, authority and responsibility we possess. In “God Is Using You” (John 9:1-3), Pastor Bridges powerfully reminded us that God wants to use each and every one of us. When you do things right, the devil will mess with you because He wants to use you too. If you don’t fight back, he will beat you. Better yet, stay in front of him and you’ll never be behind him! Stay in God’s Word, pray without ceasing and ask God to show you who you can trust. Keep on doing good, work faithfully where you are and God will elevate you! We are moving on up! If you don’t have a church home, we welcome you to join us this Sunday at 10am to see for yourself what God can do!
