NEW LIFE !
MAY/JUNE 2015
GOT LIFE The Name is Jesus Scripture: Matthew
28:18-20; Colossians 3:17 The most powerful name is Jesus because it is above every name (Philippians 2:9). It is the only name by which men can be saved (Acts 4:12). This is the only name that saves you from sin (Colossians 3:17). Since the name of Jesus does this, you should be baptized in that name which is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The name of Jesus is the only name you will ever need. All power was given to Jesus (Matthew 28:18). That is why there is power in His name. This is the name you can be saved by, healed by, delivered by, protected by, etc. The name of
Jesus can also give you whatever you desire. Because of the power that is in His name, you can ask anything in that name and whatever you desire. Jesus’ name is very strong and powerful. Unlike us who have names, but they are powerless. We cannot be healed by simply believing and saying our own name, but we can use the name of Jesus and healing will take place. So if you are in Jesus, you will have the power only through His name. You will have the power because you believe and have faith in Jesus.

Picture the Moment We have entered that part of the year when we start to move outside of our houses and enjoy outdoor activities. Maybe you are about to take that trip that you have always wanted to take. Or maybe you will see friends you haven’t seen in years. Sometimes the most precious and talked about moments happen so fast. We may spend months planning for them, but they seem to come and go ten times faster than it took to plan for them. Thanks to modern technology, there is a way to allow those moments to linger. With a mobile phone and a good memory card, you can create many precious memories to last a life time. We never know when we will need to reflect on those memories or how much the ability to look see a past moment so clearly will mean to us until that time comes. So this spring/summer capture every moment. -Pastor Mel
