“The Year of Spiritual Giving and Blessings”
II Corinthians 9:6-8 NCV
Happy Father’s Day
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” Jeremiah 17:7 (KJV)
The Courage to Lead – The Faith to Follow
Rev. Dr. Richard A. Dent, Pastor
7
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what
8
power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with
the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders
9
of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
10
impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto
you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the
dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

Pastor Richard A. Dent
Call to Christian Discipleship
Benediction
We are grateful that our heavenly task is to be a
blessing to those who need to know who is
holding our hands and guiding our footsteps. The
Bible is so instructive to our purpose to the least
of these:
“If you give food to the hungry and satisfy those
who are in need, then the darkness around you
will turn the brightness of noon. And I will always
guide you and satisfy you with good things. I will
keep you strong and well, you will be like a
garden that has plenty of water, like a spring of
water that never goes dry. Your people will
rebuild what has long been in ruins, building again
on the old foundations. You will be known as the
people who rebuilt the walls, who restored the
ruined houses.” Isaiah 58:10-12 (GNB)
The Holy Spirit gave me the above scripture to
share with you, a blessed people of an equally
blessed church and community. We are charged
to be the repairers of the breach and the
restorers of paths for His people to dwell.

TEXT:
As we continue our walk in this 2017 calendar
year, we give thanks that He is still with us in this
the sixth month.
And so, midway through the calendar year “Let us
not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we
shall reap if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
Love and joy,
Pastor Dent
