Well, the world did not come to end last Saturday. However, probably those who survived the tornado in Joplin , Missouri thought their world has come to an end. We must pray for the survivors and all the area cities that have experienced disasters this week.
The Bible states in Ecclesiastes 9:12 “Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come.”and in Luke 12:40 “ You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
This week the news forecasters where telling us to be prepared for a storm, or tornado, or a national disaster.
How can we prepare for Christ’s return? Just ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour and he will forgive you of your sins. “Old things have passed away, behold all things became new.”
Come join this Sunday. Pastor is continuing to speak on Miracles. We had a gentlemen who gave his testimony Sunday. He shared how God’s people had prayed to save his leg from being amputated.
He stood with both legs Sunday, praising God for his miracle. Do you need a miracle?
Come hear the word of God , to increase your faith and to be around people who will love you for who you are.

What is a miracle? Pastor is going to be speaking to us about Miracles this Sunday.

God opened the waters of the Red Sea so the Israelites could walked on draw ground. That was a miracle..

Jesus performed a miracle by turning the water into wine at a wedding.

The widow had a collector come to her house one day to collect her debt. She had no money. Elisha , the prophet told her to have her sons gather every pitcher the could find. When they did, she was to take the small amount of oil that she had and start pouring into all the pitchers. She keep pouring, pouring, and pouring until every pitcher was full. Then she went and sold the oil and that was her provision for as long as she needed for her and her boys. The small amount of oil became her miracle

Do you need a highly, improbable extraordinary event , development , or accomplishment to happen in your life? That’s called a miracle.

God still performs, directs and orchestrates miracles.
Read John 2: 1-11 and come to Eastpoint Sunday ready to hear Pastor’s encouraging and challenging word from God.

Reminiscing and Looking Ahead

What a Great Mother’s Day service we had at Eastpoint Family Church last Sunday. Our Eastpoint men prepared a wonderful breakfast for the ladies, and the ladies stayed out of the kitchen!
Pastor shared from II Samuel 21:1-14. This Bible story refers to a mother names Rizpah. Quite frankly, I had can remember reading about this mother. This godly mother loved your son, protected him and sacrificed for him. Sounds like us moms of today, doesn’t it?
Moms take time to read 1Cor 13: 4-7.
Love is Patient.
Love is also Kind.
Love is not rude/doesn’t act unbecomingly
Love keeps no records of wrong
Love rejoices in Truth
Love believes all things.
Well, one week later, the Mother’s Day sermon is good to be refreshed in my spirit.

This Sunday is a great occasion. We are honoring our graduates with a Baccalaureate Service.
Pastor’s sermon is titled “Pursuing Your Dreams”
We all have had dreams and we all been disappointed when some do not come to past.
He will speak from Genesis 37 referring to Jacob’s youngest son. Joseph. Joseph was a good boy and was loved by his father. His father showed special favoritism to Joseph and his bothers became jealous.
God gave Joseph some dreams, and unfortunately Joseph shared them with his bothers.

Come Sunday and see how Pastor will share with us who to share are dreams with and what dreams to we pursue .
We have an exciting church and we want you to be a part of it!

DO YOUR WANT YOUR NAME CHANGED

TOP of the morning to you!

I guess I am still feeling a little English after watching last week's gala event of Prince Harry and Dutchess Katherine's wedding.

What a beautiful occassion. I started to think how Dutchess Katherine's position was not only changed as a single person to married , but as a Dutchess to a Princess. All just by connecting herself by marriage and committing to be one in marriage.

This reminded me when I connected myself to Pastor Claude in marriage and committed my life to be his loving companion forever. I loved having my name changed from Ms. to Mrs.

The most important commintment I ever made , was when I commented my life to Christ.
My name was changed from "sinner" to "a child of the King".

Angels were rejoicing in heaven. For when a sinner comes to Christ, heaven has a joyous celebration.

Not only was my name changed, my life was changed, and my destiny was headed to a heavenly eternity.

Has your name been changed? Have you been changed from "sinner" to " A child of King Jesus"?

If not, you can be liberated by saying a simple prayer of salvation. Repeat, this prayer.
"Jesus come and live in my heart forever and forgive me from my sin"
With that simple prayer, your name has been changed and you are a believer of Christ.

If you do not have a church home, where you can learn more about God's love, then FIND one.

We would love to have you at Eastpoint Family Church, where people love God and love other people. Come join us.
