Deliverance Baptist Church in Goodwill will be celebrating its 37 years of ministry with a series of activities.

The theme for the celebration is “Conforming to His image:  Spreading the gospel with service to the community”.

A major highlight of the service will be an exhibition displaying the vast array of talent and skills in the church. Exhibit artifacts of the church’s history and outreach projects over the years, will also be on display.

Revival services will be held from November 25-27 from 7:00 pm and the church promises three nights of special refreshment, spiritual challenge, reconciliation and praise.

The youth arm of Deliverance Church will hold an Anniversary Youth Service on Friday November 29, from 7:00 pm during which the young people will reinforce their commitment to God through their artistic talents in music and dance.

On Saturday November 30, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. there will be a free health fair and the public is invited to come for blood pressure, blood sugar, body mass index (BMI) checks, in addition to breast examinations.

    I can testify of how good this ministry has been to my family. Under the direction of God, pastor Serrant was able to team up with some missionaries, and bless my mum with a beautiful house. Her home was devastated by fire, and when no one else could help, God intervened, using the person of Pastor Serrant. God bless the ministry, for the many years of fruitful existence.

    The Way to go Pastor Serrant. The other churches need o take a page from your book. Talk, talk, no action. All they are known for is to stay within the walls of the church on Wednesdays and Sundays.very little community involvement. .They are heard on loud speakers but not seen around , or neither is there presence felt.Pastor Serrant you are a man after God’s own heart. Go, Pastor go. Lives are being touched and and physical needs are being met. God bless you for all that you are doing. Your personality is good. Your flock can identify with you, unlike other Pastors. You are with the young, the not so young, the old and the not so old. You have a big heart and you care. Amen. What would Jesus do?????????

    To the unbelieveres: Change is a Must, not an option. Otherwise too late shall be the cry.

    “Revival services will be held from November 25-27 from 7:00 pm and the church promises three nights of special refreshment, spiritual challenge, reconciliation and praise”.

    I hope that this is not just talk, talk, and talk with no action for concrete production. Because I am aware that we walk around claiming to be Christians and doing the things of Church–even the things of religion–but we have no understanding of the “revival” that we need as believers in Jesus much more to understand the reconciliation to our Holy God, which is a must for us who believe.

    However “revival” means the dead or sleeping soul within a person has come awake, quickened by “Light of men” in Jesus Christ–this Light which is Life in her or her, by his or her sincere faith and the Power of God’s Holy Spirit, who would have then connected him or her through conscience.

    “Reconciliation” means that the mind in its carnal condition–not being able to accept God’s Will and His Love–Life in Jesus Christ–goes into “gradual renewal” right into the completeness and perfection, which is satisfactory to our God of Holiness–we will then know what is the good, acceptable, and perfect Will of our God of Love–Life in Spirit, Truth, and Righteousness.

    And so, the Apostle Paul tells us at 2nd Corinthians 5: 16-19: “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a “new creation”; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Jesus–the Man–reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of Reconciliation”

    “Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer”.

    Through this line in the Scripture above, the apostle Paul is telling that in our minds, Jesus should be viewed solely as “Christ” and Christ is Eternal Spirit, who is “Lord” God Almighty who came to the world in flesh and bones to save His people by their faith in the shedding of His blood.

    I noticed that the article used the word “conformation” but the term should better be “transformation” to become lost from the human mind and to be found with the Mind of Love–the Mind of the God of Life by His Person of Love–the name is Jesus Christ.

    May those who are attending this celebration become blessed with the knowledge of God through the wisdom, understanding, and insights of Holy Spirit–who is the “Supernatural Influence” in us, from our conscience. It is by this Supernatural influence that God Almighty who is the Living God–the God of Life through His Person of Love, who is Jesus Christ–is reconciling us, who believe, to Himself.

    The churches need to take a page from Deliverance. This church is actually doing things and helping people in the community. It would be nice for DNO to get some testimonies and I am not talking about members.

    Great initiative by the church. This church over the years have shown what it is to give back to the less fortunate and the under privileged.
