Please Join us this Sunday Morning, August 23, 2020, at 10:30 AM, at Astoria First Assembly of God, as Pastor Nick and Janice Buhler share: Promise #7: Greater Blessings, as they continue in their series, “Standing on the Promises of God.“

People who believe God’s promises will experience greater blessings in their life. "The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part." (Job 42:12)

The Importance of Blessings in God’s Perfect Plan

The primary goal of God’s perfect plan is to demonstrate the glory of God. A secondary goal is to accomplish the good of those who love God: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

The ultimate good is that which manifests God’s glory. For the Christian, “good” includes the blessing of all those who are the called in Jesus Christ. The promised blessings of the Bible are the good which God has purposed and promised. The Christian life should be lived out in the light of the superiority of God’s promised blessings in comparison to the “blessings” an ungodly world holds out to us (Hebrews 11:24-26). As we study the Greater Blessings of God, our hope is that the present pleasures of this life will fade in the light of the glory awaiting us.

You won’t want to miss being in church this Sunday!

We hope to see you there!!
