Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
JOHN 14:12-14 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)
CONNECTION COMMUNITY CHURCH: YOU ARE GREAT!
Great pastors
Great new church building
Great growth and faithfulness
Great worship
Great message of salvation
Great ministry in the community and the world
GOD IS CALLING YOU TO DO GREATER THINGS
Jesus told his disciples they would do greater works than he did
Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, walked on water, calmed the storm, fed 5,000 people
Jesus is speaking to you today as you dedicate your new church building
“GREATER” MEANS MORE OUTREACH
“God of the City” was first sung in a bar in Bangkok, Thailand amid great evil
Bring Jesus Christ to people who are suffering in Middletown, Odessa, Townsend and around the world
Engage in addiction ministry, prison ministry, violence prevention, stop human trafficking and homelessness, help with people with disabilities, etc. etc.
WE DO GREATER THINGS THROUGH THE POWER OF PRAYER
Jesus said: “If you ask anything in my name I will do it.”
That does not mean ask for a Mercedes or to pass a test when you haven’t studied
Asking in Jesus’ name means to ask in accordance with God’s will and trust when the answer is “no” or “wait.”
