Excellent message from Rev Charlie Dodd on Sunday.  If you missed it, shame on you because you made a choice to not attend church.  Sister Tiffanie asked a great question, "If you knew Jesus would be in church, what would your excuse be to miss?".  Of course, there is no excuse and OF COURSE JESUS IS IN CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY, this Sunday was no exception.  Rev Dodd preached on "Choices" and that we all make a choice.....

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 King James Version (KJV)10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

We must first love God and loving God means loving God's Word and loving the truth.  If we don't we can be deceived and the scripture states that "God shall send them strong delusion".  We make choices every day, our first choice should be to serve and love God!!  We either choose God or we choose the world...It is very clear in the scripture.

John 10:10 King James Version (KJV)10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Satan is here to steal your joy, kill and destroy you.  After he does, he has no use for you.  It is on to the next soul to destroy.  God came, manifest in the flesh, Jesus came to bring life and bring it to you more abundantly.  You have a choice to make each day.  Choose life, Choose God!!!!

Joshua 24:15 King James Version (KJV)

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

As we prepared a logo for the new church name, we thought about the elements and reaching people.  How do you engage the world and get them to enter the doors of the church to experience God?  The V is for Victory, Jesus victory over death that we too can enjoy through His plan of salvation.  The V has a modernized cross symbolizing Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary.  The colors are red and orange, symbolizing the power of the Holy Ghost!  Underneath the Logo we included the tagline "A United Pentecostal Church".  Why?!!  Because we don't hide who we are from the world.  We are a truth preaching, Spirit-filled, tongue talking, Holiness living church of the living God!!  What's in a name?  EVERYTHING IS IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!! 

Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Matthew 28:18 King James Version (KJV)

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Colossians 2:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Acts 2:38-39 King James Version (KJV)

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
So what's in a name?!!  Everything is in the name!!!  THE NAME OF JESUS!!!!

We are so excited to begin a new chapter in our journey to serve God!  Victory Church will be established this coming Sunday, July 26, 2015 in its new location at The Coach House in Pleasant View, TN.  Over one and a half years ago I met Kelly Ellis because she picked up a "Family Fun Day" post card in the post office and called me to see if I would be interested in advertising on the radio.  I knew that God ordained that meeting and today we are renting worship space from Kelly that just recently opened to us.  God still performs miracles today.  Whatever your personal need, healing, jobs, finances, relationships....God can and will provide if you will humble yourself and seek His face. 

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God wants to give you the desires of your heart.  The conditions to receive them are obedience to His word, assembling with like minded people in His house, and accepting His plan of salvation.  Victory Church would love to meet you and help grow your relationship with God.  If you don't have a church or are looking for a change of pace with vibrant worship and messages...Visit us in Pleasant View, TN.

In Jesus Name,
Pastor Marshall Pilcher
