A LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
Hebrews 10:25
HABITS After an outstanding General Conference in Melbourne, many of us are primed and ready for the new year. At the outset of 2017, we have the opportunity to chart a new course knowing that we are older and hopefully wiser than in the previous year.
Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
STANLEY & ROBYN HARVEY Senior Pastor of The Pentecostals of Sydney
Let us make the most of our mistakes from the past by not repeating them but applying God’s wisdom and revelation to our lives. Last week I mentioned the importance of keystone habits that can have a flow on effect on other habits for the better. So from here on, focus on some major habits and be diligent on ensuring that you follow through with them. For the Christian of course, the keystone habits are the ones that Jesus exemplified and that is prayer and knowledge of God’s Word. Make it your keystone habit to pray and read God’s Word daily. If this can be part of your daily routine everyday for the next six to eight weeks, it will become a habit that will influence your character and ultimately bring you to your destiny. Church attendance, giving, fasting and witnessing are some of the other habits that are sure to follow and will cause you to become a ‘Contagious’ and ‘Effective’ Christian for God’s glory.
NEW TO THE POS? Thank you for being our guest today. We are so delighted and privileged that you came! We would like to give you a small gift in appreciation for your visit. Please visit the Welcome Desk to pick up your gift.
We pray that you have enjoyed your time with us and we would love to see you again at the POS!
LIFE STUDIES CONNECT
Life Studies are an enjoyable, non-threatening way to learn more about the Bible. We can meet with you in your home, our home, or a coffee shop. The studies are less than an hour but have the power to change your life. Contact one of our hosts if you would like to start a Life Study.
DISCIPLE MAKERS As part of the vision and theme of the POS we are inviting members to become Disciple Makers. If you interested in being involved in teaching Bible Studies and discipling at least one person in 2016 please speak to Br Greg or one of our Greeters.
CONNECT AT THE PENTECOSTALS OF SYDNEY KINGDOM ELEVATED YOUTH We understand that High School, Uni and Tafe are times of much change- Physical, Mental and even Spiritual. Whether you're the big man at school or the quiet one in the back of the class you have a place at Rewired Youth. Come along to a dynamic service on Friday nights at 7:30pm - with skits, games and a message aimed right at you, we guarantee you'll have a great time.
NEW LIFE JOURNEY We invite you to join NLJ; a teaching program conducted on Sunday mornings following worship. These classes will cover questions you may have about doctrine, why we worship the way we do, what God really has in store for your life and how God’s love for you can conquer all. These classes are very beneficial to your Christian walk, so take your first steps with Jesus today!
LIFEGROUPS These are groups that meet on Wednesdays all across Sydney. It is a great time of Biblical teaching, growing and spending time together. You will not want to miss out on these exciting new groups!
SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday school operates every Sunday morning following the worship service. We have classes that accommodate children from 4 to 12 years old. Classes are always fun and exciting so make sure your children are getting the most out of the their visit to the POS.
UPCOMING
VISION SUNDAY Sun, 29 January 2017 10:00am service only At the beginning of the year Pastor casts his vision for the church in the coming year. While our vision continues to be the ‘2020 Vision’ which is described on our website, Pastor gives us a focused theme for each year. Previous years have been ‘Higher” and “kingdom Life’. Vision Sunday also happens to fall on a ‘Family Sunday’ this year so there will only be one service at 10am. There is no PM service. If you consider yourself part of this church you will not want to miss ‘Vision Sunday’. It will be an incredible Sunday at the POS!
UPCOMING HIGHLIGHT EVENTS MIDWEEK SERVICES Wednesdays 7:30pm
In the months of December and January we give our Life Group Leaders a break and we have services at the POS on Wednesdays instead of meeting in homes. It is a great evening of worship and teaching of the Word of God.
