Pastor Jay Brown
Abundant Life
“Israel: The Promise and the Plan”

Experience & Encounter

(These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.)

1. What is your usual reaction to current events – great interest?  Indifference?  Do you try to tune them out?  Look for ways to discern what God may be doing through what is happening in the world.
2. Are you living your life with an alertness toward the impending return of Jesus?  Or are you asleep to the spiritual dynamics going on around you?
3. Use the opportunity of these days to seek out resources to help you better understand the relationship of the Church to Israel – and to thank God that He has given you a place in His grand unfolding plan of salvation.

Partnership Class TODAY

At King Street Church, we call our members “partners” because they commit to partner in the work that God is doing in and through our church. If you are interested in becoming a partner of KSC, or would like to know more about partnership, plan to attend BOTH classes: April 21 (today!) and April 28 at 11:00 am in Team Central (located in the main hallway).

 

Prayer Tables

We believe that God works powerfully through prayer.  TODAY there is a table in each of our worship spaces and you’re invited to use it to take or leave a Prayer Card.  If you have a REQUEST that you’d like us to pray for, please fill out the card and leave it on the table (you do not have to provide your name.)  As always, you can submit a request to our online Prayer Wall at kingstreetchurch.com/pray, or text “pray” to (717) 401-7777.
