Dear Friends,

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son, 1 John 5:11.

I know some of you can remember going to a Sunday night service and having a time of testimony, hearing how God had been working in their life and how their testimony had encouraged all who were there. Some of you can even remember the person who delivered that testimony. Testimonies are important because they speak of how God is working in the life of a person, and how God is helping them through whatever challenge they are facing. More recently we have had a number of testimonies that have been shared in our services, and their stories have had a great impact upon the life of our church.

This Sunday will be another opportunity for us to hear a testimony, one from my friend and predecessor, Rev. John Denney. You might remember that a few weeks ago we had a time of healing and John was one of those recipients. He shared that he was not going to continue his treatment for the cancer that he is battling. John has a prayer blog for a prayer team that has been growing through this time. He has provided an update on what he has been learning through this major challenge and how God is helping him. It is of utmost importance at this time that we hear John’s ongoing story. I believe God will use his testimony to speak to each of us right where we are and guide us to where the Lord wants us to go. I believe there is power in the testimony of God’s saints, and you will be a witness of that this Sunday. O Lord, release that power! The book of Revelation speaks of this power. And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death, 12:11.

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 9:00AM in person or online.
