SERMON VIDEO

SERMON
Pentecost: The Fire Still Burns -“What Shall YOU Do?”
Pastor Veronica
Sermon takeaway: On display after Peter’s sermon is the classic model of reasonable response expected from a believer when presented with the gospel. The word of God is like a key to the heart of the saved. They are pricked (convicted), repent (180-degree turn) and then saved (salvation). We are called to live out this reasonable response continually. A submitted life that bears witness to the lost sinner both the way to and way of salvation! (v.37-41)

A SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
