One Last Reminder for New Church Service Times

This is just one last reminder to everyone that beginning tomorrow, January 8th, Full Gospel House of Refuge is changing its start times to the following:

10:00am Bible Study

11:00am Worship Service

The 10:00am bible study will consist of classes for children and adults. We currently do not have a nursery program in place but hope to be able to accommodate the little ones soon. The regular worship service will follow at 11:00am with no childcare services at this time.

Please come out and join us for a Holy Ghost filled service; all are welcome and we look forward to worshipping with you in the Lord!

We love you and pray God’s blessings upon you,

Your friends in Christ
at the Full Gospel House of Refuge

Celebration Today!

Please be sure to join us for a celebration of Pastor Appreciation Day, and Pastor Robert Cox’s birthday.  There will be plenty of good eats in the Reception Hall after today’s service.

Also, check out the update on Bro. Mike Boggs on the Events page.  He looks really good!

We love you and pray for God’s blessing upon you,

Unity of the Brethren!

What a mighty move of God today at the Full Gospel House of Refuge!  We are truly blessed and honored to have the Lord visit our church services as He does.  God is looking for a church where can do a mighty work, and we are more than happy to welcome Him into the House of Refuge.

Pastor Cox’s inspiring word for this week comes from Psalms 133:1, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

When the body of Christ comes together in one accord, we open the door for the Holy Spirit to move upon us and do a wondrous work.

As Jesus says in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”  And indeed today He was!

A special thanks goes out to our volunteer workers for the terrific job they did this past Saturday:
– Grounds clean-up
– Inside clean-up of the church
– Baptismal work
(hopefully we’ll be baptizing people in just a few short weeks!)

We plan to have recurring Volunteer Saturdays the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month beginning October 4th.

Work time will be from 10:00am-4:00pm with Bro. Leon Peace leading the interior work, and Bro. Tim Thoma leading the exterior work.

More details to follow regarding the type of work we hope to get accomplished in the next 3-4 months.

Unoccupied Territory

What a wonderful message from Bishop Darrel Peters today about unoccupied territory.  We as Christians need to step up and claim the blessings God has for us.  Bishop Peters read from Joshua 1:1-9 with emphasis on verse 3:

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

In so many situations, Jesus has already blessed us.  He is just wanting us to take that first step that enables us to receive our blessing.  So step into your unoccupied territory right now and claim all that the Lord has in store for you.

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

 

We love you and pray for God’s blessings upon you,
