Because of the Cross

Good Morning, Family!

I am using today’s blog to post some study notes from Sunday’s service. The notes are there for you to study in greater depth because we did not have the time to go over all the below scriptures. So, please take time to look over them. I believe they will be a blessing to you!

Prayer:

Father, I lift up every member of AGC, and I believe that Your Word is ministering to them. Your abundant life surrounds each one of them and Your grace is upon them. As they endeavor daily to be led by Your Spirit, they will see greater realms of You in operation in their life, in their family, and the people they come in contact with daily. We love and trust You, Lord! We are led by Your Spirit!
