Welcome to A Taste of Life Ministries! We would like to first thank everyone for coming to worship with us today! We invite you to sit and enjoy yourself within the presence of God as we listen to the word through the message given by Pastor Penny. Please be sure to sign in the black fellowship book on the stand located on the left hand side of the sanctuary door. This will help us keep track of who is here and how many you brought with you to share the LOVE of Christ. Also don't forget that we want your prayer request. We would like to start publishing them in the Bulletin every week.

So please fill out a Prayer Request Form and in the "Footprints" section please let us know all about how you held on and believed and He delivered your answer!
..... always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Colossians 4:12
WHAT"S YOUR PURPOSE?
The Lord has grafted us into Himself for a purpose. From the time we receive Christ as our Savior until the time He calls us home. He has a purpose for us here in this life. God has an ordained purpose for you. That purpose is that we would live unto Him. God places certain people into a full-time ministry of teaching, preaching, studying, and praying.
Paul said in 1 Timothy 1:12 "And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry." He has called pastors, teachers, and evangelists for the ministry. So what part of His ministry is He calling you to? God has called each of us to bear spiritual fruit. If we are going to understand this, we need to recognize some of the truths from God's Word.
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:27-29
Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for noble purpose, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. 2 Timothy 2:20-22
Ask yourself if your really living out your Christian purpose! If not, are you praying and asking God what that is, and what you need to be doing. He only wants us to be willing and asking, so that we may recieve our answers.
