BISHOP SPEAKS
"There is a name...."
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although the times we're in are troublesome, I am here to remind you that prayer can help you overcome all things. As the scripture says, ....'the effectual ferverent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)
With the numerous changes not only in our government but in our church as well, I admonish you to pray for the leadership of our church. The prayer for leadership is not only restricted to the church but we are to pray for our civic leaders also, that they may obtain godly wisdom as they lead our country for these next few years.
April is the time in which we celebrate Holy Week, Palm Sunday, and Resurrection Sunday (Easter). During this time, we should remember the supreme sacrafice that our Redeemer, Jesus Christ made for us to restore our relationship with "The Father." "....without the shedding of blood, there is no remission. Thus we are thankful for God sending his only begotten Son who has saved us from the penalty of sin.
As we, the members of the Greater Maryland First Jurisdiction, move forward in support of the vision of our national church, "Globally helping men and women see themselves in the future," it is my endeavor that we continue to be witnesses by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus to a world that continues to distance itself from the "fear of The Lord."
