Pastor Mark Abney brought the message An Effective Testimony using Mark 4:35-5:20 as the text. A testimony is something we are supposed to have on our lips. As Christians, we have the best product around, Jesus Christ. Don’t be ashamed to tell about your Savior. Give your testimony on a regular basis to others. Pastor Mark then allowed our congregation the opportunity to share what the Lord is doing or has done in our lives. Several individuals shared testimonies and we all benefited from hearing them.
We ask you to keep in prayer Chad Price, Caroline Wilson, Ashley Wheatley, Pat Kampe, healthcare workers and emergency personnel, law enforcement, and our country’s leaders. We are blessed to not only be able to approach the throne of grace with our prayers but to be confident in knowing that God hears our prayers and answers each one.
