ANNOUNCEMENTS

OCTOBER SUNDAY SCHOOL SERIES | SUNDAYS | 9:20AM

This October we will be studying Becoming Whole: Why the Opposite of Poverty Alleviation is not the American Dream to learn together how the Bible's vision of wholeness is more complex and complete than the narratives offered by the world around us. Feel free to order and begin reading the book now in preparation for the class beginning Oct 3!

OCTOBER BLOG SERIES

In light of our upcoming SS series on the book Becoming Whole: Why The Opposite of Poverty Alleviation Is Not the American Dream, we want to welcome our congregation to contribute to the church blog. Topics: what it means to be human/being whole; reactions to the October series book; reflection on how you were shaped to see wholeness growing up and how you misunderstood that concept.

PRAYER CURRENT: “PRAYER SEMINAR” | 11.13 | 8:30-3:00 PM
“Have you struggled with developing prayer in your daily life? Don’t know what to say or what to pray about? Are you worried that your prayers don’t sound spiritual enough? Well, mark your calendar’s for Saturday, Nov. 13th, as we will seek to answer and dispel many of these questions.

PPC will be hosting a training and application of Prayer Revolution with the ministry of Prayer Current. You will learn the biblical, spiritual, and practical components of Kingdom-oriented prayer and how this communion with God has been at the core of every spiritual renewal or revival in human history. (Both personally & corporately) This event will focus on both the theory & application of prayer throughout the seminar. (You will actually pray!!!) And better yet, you will walk away with a plan and group of people with whom you can grow in this area together. Please contact Kevin Carroll, kcarroll705@gmail.com, if you have any questions or would like to sign up for this vital opportunity.”

NURSERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are in need of new volunteers for nursery (serving Sunday mornings 3-4 times a year). If interested, reach out to Sam (childrensministry@poncechurch.org)!

PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | John 16:4-15 (ESV)

4 But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

La fuerza de la cruz, se muestra carmesí,

La sangre de Jesús, fluyendo para ti.

Libres del ayer, hijos del perdón,

Fuimos redimidos por la gracia de su amor.

Siendo Dios, se entregó, mi vergüenza llevó, sin culpa.

Y murió en mi lugar sin que hubiera en él pecado.

Y con lágrimas de sangre dijo hice todo para ti.

Chorus

Nos amó, nos salvó y nos hizo ver su, su gloria.

En su paz nos unió, lo adoramos por su victoria.

En el calvario él nos liberó, su sangre derramó...

Bridge

Nada me falta, fue consumado,

Nada está roto, su sangre ha dado.

Puedo vivir, en libertad,

Vuelvo a nacer, por la fuerza de la cruz.
