march 2015 Hello and welcome to The Pentecostals of Sydney where you can experience new life in Christ! As members of the Church, Scripture tells us that we are; “no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;” Eph 2:19-20 When we were once alienated in sin from God, we are now part of God’s family and as such we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We belong to God and He is our heavenly Father. In addition we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets or that could be interpreted as the foundation of the Old and New Testaments. We have the Word of God as our sure foundation and so the call is to continue to build our spiritual house higher upon that foundation. Strengthen your faith with prayer, fasting, Bible reading and service in the House of God. Be faithful in your witness and giving to the cause of Christ. Walk in righteousness and study God’s truth to bring liberty and peace in your heart. Since our foundation is secure, let us aim to grow higher for heaven is the limit. ! ! ! ! ! ! God bless you,! ! Pastor Stan Harvey

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!
ReWired 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. We would love to have you!
We Offer Services in Other Languages We are blessed at the POS to have a very multicultural church. Because of that we offer translating, services and Bible studies in different languages.
