September Sermon Series

spiritual-gifts-feature

 

THEME:  Spiritual Gifts

September 7 – Gifts for ALL – Eph. 4:7-13

Each of us are gifted.  God has given each of us special gifts and desires for us to use them.  Let’s talk about GIFTS this Sunday.

September 14 – Gifted to Serve – Romans 12:1-21

Gifts are given to us by God.  Once we realize what God has done we are to use these gifts in service to others and the world.  What are you doing for the body of Christ?  What are you offering the world?

September 21 – Gifts and Callings of God – Romans 11:29

When God calls and God gifts they never change and He expects us to continue to use them.  Are you using your gifts for the glory of God?  Or have you taken a vacation?  We never stop using our gifts until we enter heaven.  What are you doing?

Today, August 24, at Pender UMC

campmeeting-featured

 

At our 8:15 & 11:00 worship services on Sunday, August 24th, we return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be atime to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear a sermon series based on the importance of “Revival.”

Pastor Kenny will be preaching on “A Neglected Salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3-4)

The writer of Hebrews asks a simple question. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” Have we neglected it? From what do we escape? Let’s see how great a salvation we have been given and claim it this week.

At our 9:30 Common Ground Worship Service, RevKev will continue his Sermon Series on “The Stories of Jesus.” His sermon this Sunday is entitled “Jesus, Light of the World”  (John 8:12-20)
