God's
House
Celebrates
the Feasts
Pastor
Robert and Marcille Lytle |
This time of year is special to us at God's House as we
celebrate the Feast of
Trumpets (Sept 19th), the Day of Atonement
(Sept. 28th) and
the Feast of Tabernacles
(Oct 3rd-10th).
As a Pastor, my great desire is to see people saved,
discipled and sent out to reach others: to see people reach a right
balance of the fear of the Lord and
His grace.
The festivals are one of the
best tools for accomplishing that
task. Prophetically, I believe they
represent the Coming of the Lord, the Judgment Seat of Christ and the
Messianic
Kingdom.
The Feast of Trumpets has
two primary aspects. We see these
in the watchman on the wall. The first
aspect is to hear the trumpet call ourselves and remember that we will
stand before
the Judgment Seat of Christ and give an account for what we've done.
Are we living a godly life? Are we fully surrendered?
The second aspect brings to mind the watchman's responsibility to blow
the trumpet
and warn the people of the coming judgment. This is what Paul alluded
to when he said that he was free of the blood
of all men. Both of these subjects emphasize the Fear of the Lord.
This year for the Day
of Atonement I'll be teaching on one
of the foundational doctrines of Christ - the laying on of hands in
Hebrews 6. It was a term used to
describe the impartation of sin from the person to the sacrificial
animal. When I think of how Jesus loved me and
gave himself for me, I'm overwhelmed by the grace of God. I hope the
congregation will be as well.
Finally, we'll have a church camp-out and fellowship to
celebrate the Feast of
Tabernacles. We'll have a time of rejoicing
and looking forward to Jesus ruling and reigning on the earth. Also,
I'll
encourage people to let Him rule and reign now and to be a part in
establishing
the Kingdom of God.

Truth
for Today

Truth for Today is a very special segment focused on relationships.
Pastor Ron
Hammonds discusses the importance of recognizing, "What you did to keep
something is generally what you need to do to keep it." This phrase
works in
every application of life and his teaching on this matter involving
returning
to your first love is sure to make a difference in your life on a
personal
level.

New
Courses at Church on the Rock Bridge City, TX
|
We are in the
process of making several changes to our church life here at Church on the Rock Bridge City.
Beginning in November, we will start with our "Track 1:28" course. This
course
will be held on four consecutive Sunday nights, each covering a
different topic. The topics will be "Basics of the
Church," "Church Membership," "Personal Growth" and "Spiritual Gifts."
On the
last night, those who attend will have the chance to meet all the
ministry and service leaders and have an opportunity to join one of the
teams.
In February next year we will begin facilitating almost everything we
want
to do through small groups. We will offer three study courses: a Beth
Moore
Study, a Dave Ramsey course and one called "Growing Kids God's Way."
Small group leaders will take the responsibility of
pastoring the study groups. There will also be three small groups built
around a common interest: an "Ultimate Sports"
group, a "Walking" group and a "42" group which is "Dominoes!"
The interest groups are designed to let the leader pastor
those in their group. This will entail sharing the Word for 5 minutes
and praying before they begin their
activities. This provides an opportunity for people to bring friends
and meet folks in a
place where they might have something in common - more than just
talking or
having coffee.
Each of these groups are designed to feed the church. They open the
door for relationships, a chance to bring friends and get them to
church
to hear the Gospel and be born again.

Dr.
Hammonds Reports on Pastors' Conference in Nakuru, Kenya
|
Recently Brenda and I attended a pastors' conference hosted by Reverend
Doctor Musa Njguna at the
Charismata Revivals Center in Nakuru, Kenya, East Africa.
Other ministers
attending from the United States
included Pastor
Tommy Meekins and his son, Jeremy Meekins, from Church on the Rock in
Baytown, Texas.
The compliment
of attendees included pastors, ministers, and Christian organizational
leaders
from several countries in East Africa. Several
nationally and internationally known worship artists including SKBlue
from Nairobi, Winniey Amondi
from South Africa, and the
Generation Boys from Uganda were present and
ministered with great anointing.
 Doctor
Musa Njuguna has now fully recovered from the stroke he
encountered in 2008. His churches are strong, his ministry powerful and
his
vision to take Africa for the Kingdom of Christ is clear.
Charismata Revivals Network is being strengthened with each new church
plant
and has become an indispensable kingdom resource, supplying famine
relief along
with other spiritual and humanitarian aid to people from all tribes and
every
situation of life.
The pastors' conference was a tremendous success.
During the conference we were blessed to
participate in the dedication of the new ministry training facilities
in
Nakuru. Please continue to pray and consider supporting this and other
KE
Resources endeavors throughout the world. |
