PASTOR’S THOUGHTS... continued
LIFE GROUPS
SENIOR PASTOR SAM VALVERDE
May, 2013
“Life Groups - where paths and lives intersect, where real people with real problems, share and seek answers from a real God. Join one today!” -Pastor Sam
No life groups through the month of April. Learn more at www.fountainoftruth.com
1.
To learn to love and care for God’s family
2.
To focus on others rather than self
3.
To grow in our relationship with God and others
“Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.” - Romans 6:9 How wonderful it is to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because he rose from the grave with power, we, through him have the ability to rise from any situation, problem and failure. His resurrection changes absolutely everything. He was crucified and buried in a damp stone-covered grave. Guards were placed there to keep him down! How silly, guards to watch over a dead man - that’s insecurity. But he rose again, and with power, earthquakes and angels as stone removers. In what grave do you find yourself. What has you feeling buried behind a stone guarded by soldiers? Because he triumphed over death, the grave and hell, we too can rise out of any situation life gives us. Be of good cheer, he is risen! APRIL PREACHING SERIES SERIES: LET’S EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER “O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together” Psalms 34:3

The Lord is my provider The Lord is my banner The Lord is my healer The Lord is my peace
LIFE GROUPS
Each name is a result of God working in the midst of his people’s struggles, failures and challenges. Each story is one with which we can relate today. It is his name that brings identity and comfort to every situation. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10 Each Sunday in April we will magnify a particular name of God; as we do, the blessings of that particular name and experience will be poured out over our congregations.
