TODAY IS PENTECOST SUNDAY WHICH IS 50 DAYS AFTER FIRSTFRUITS (EASTER SUNDAY) AND WE CELEBRATE THE START OF THE CHURCH WHEN IN ACTS 2 WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLED THE CHURCH AND 3,000 NEW BELIEVERS WERE ADDED TO THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM EVERY TONGUE, TRIBE AND NATION WHO KNOW SALVATION COMES FROM THE LORD AS REVELATION 7 EXPLAINS. I AM THANKFUL FOR THE BIRTH, LIFE, TEACHINGS, DEATH, RESURRECTION AND REIGNING POWER OF JESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF MANKIND AND THAT HE BRINGS US INTO A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER IN HEAVEN. I AM THANKFUL FOR THE CHURCH AND FOR THE PEOPLE IN IT WHO LOVE THE LORD AND HIS WORD AND SERVE PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AS JESUS SERVED. MAY WE CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP AS 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 EXPLAINS.
