Release Demonstrating God's
love through Service (Ministry)

is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is

generously; if it is leadership, let him govern
diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."

coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth,for they are the

truth."
