FaithWorks Christian Fellowship - First Sunday Worship Service!

Pastor Emery and Stephanie Barber are pleased to announce FaithWorks Christian Fellowship's first Sunday worship service to be held on March 14th, 2010 at 11:00AM. We will be meeting at the Chef's Orchid, located in Building 14 at JFK Airport. Come out and join us for a moment of refreshing in worship of our God and loving fellowship with the community of faith. Then join us on Resurrection Sunday, as it will mark the launch of our weekly Sunday Worship services. We look forward to your presence.

Consecration

As we approach Resurrection Sunday in a little over a month from now, many of us engage in a season of consecration, a period of fasting and prayer as we reflect on our Lord Jesus Christ and his time in the wilderness. It is a time where we recommit ourselves to the work of the Kingdom, setting our bodies, minds, and souls apart for God's holy service. During this season we will continue to engage in pursuit of holiness through communion with God and one another as we gather for prayer, study God's Word, worship God in the spirit. We encourage you to set time apart to seek the face of God - on your way to work or home, during a quick break or lunch! So draw near saints for "prayer and supplication with thanksgiving," as we seek the Lord - touching and agreeing for the pulling down of strongholds in our lives.

We don't know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future. We continue to walk by faith and not by sight, trusting that God will indeed direct our paths. Join us for the journey. Saturday Morning Worship from 10:00AM to 11:00AM, Wednesday Hour of Power, Word Of Faith(Weekly devotional messages at this site and via email to you).

 As we proclaim the Gospel message, and sing praises to our God, we endeavor to Prove God at His Word, again and again. Faith Indeed Works.

Believing God With You,

Pastor Emery & Stephanie Barber

Fenimore Street UMC - Web Ministry Workshop

Pastor Barber facilitated a workshop on Web Ministry at the Fenimore St. United Methodist Church on Saturday February 20th from 10:00AM - 1:00PM. It was indeed a blessed opportunity to learn about the new media tools and resources available to further spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are thankful to God for Rev. Dr. Maxine Nixon and her ministry who extended the privilege to come and share the gifts God has availed to the Kingdom.

Revive Your Worship Conference

Pastors James and Diane Palmer of Worship Center International - Orlando hosted this year's "Revive Your Worship" on Jan. 29th - 31st.

The guest speakers were International Author and Speaker, Standard Institute, NY - Dr. Curtis S. Redmon and Psalmist and Instructor of Worship Center International, Cambria Heights - Min. Monique Banks. Pastor Barber ministered in the ministry of music, and creative worship, where he equipped the saints with new media resources to further engage ministry at another level. It was indeed a renewing experience.

Bushwick Parish UMC Outreach Weekend

We had a marvelous time of fellowship in the Lord as we joined Rev. Dr. Wendy Modeste and the congregation of Bushwick Parish UMC. Pastor Barber and the FaithWorks family ministered during the first night of their Annual Outreach Weekend. The praise & worship was a blessed opportunity to experience God yet again. The message for the night was Stand On the Word and Go Forth. We look forward to the next opportunity to fellowship again.

The Feast of Pentecost - May 31st

The first fruits of the Holy Spirit are the true believers won to God by His Son the firstborn. (1 Cor. 15:20&23, James 1:18, Rev. 14:4)

The ancient ceremony of presenting the Almighty with the firstfruits of the earth (Deut. 26:1-11) with two oven-baked loaves, in which the leaven had been de-activated (Lev. 23:15-17), was a figure, a type, a shadow of the spiritual harvest of human souls in whom the yeast of sin will one day cease to exist. There is coming a day when the power of sin will be de-activated in us believers just as the power of leaven is neutralised in an oven baked loaf.

The breathtaking experience recorded in Acts 2 was but the early harvest, a kind of "firstfruits" of an even greater out-pouring of divine power scheduled to fall upon the church in the near future when the main harvest of human beings will be gathered in.

The Feast of Pentecost, in short, prefigures, guarantees and commemorates the early harvest, the first fruits of human souls: and those who celebrate it declare their willingness to be part of that spiritual multitude which will one day be gathered in and presented to the Almighty by His Son - the Firstborn!

Worship Center International, Orlando

Grace and peace Saints! God is great and greatly to be praised. What a joy and blessing to have guest preacher Rev. James K. Palmer, Pastor of Worship Center International Orlando, to give the Word during the FaithWorks Morning Worship today. He preached from John 10:10 among other supporting scriptures. The sermonic theme was Abundant Life, and encouraged the saints to seek the Total Prosperity that God offers the citizens of the Kingdom.

I'm excited about the charge that God has given us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, and through the medium of the internet, saints from Kissemmee Florida, Virginia, as well as New York City were able to experience a faith increase as the Word of God was lifted up. On behalf of the entire fellowship of FaithWorks Christian Center we sincerely thank you for making yourself available to be used of the Lord Rev. Palmer. God bless you and your family.
