Welcome to Astoria First Assembly of God church! We are beyond excited that you are here! We've got a place for you!!
It’s our great pleasure to invite you and your family to join us this Sunday, October 17, 2021, at 10:30 AM, for our In-Person Worship Service.
Pastor Nick Buhler will be speaking on “Let not your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1).
“We are living in troubled times.” This is a phrase I hear often. It is usually followed by “Lord, come quickly.”
These statements are not false. But I’m not sure if our desire for the Lord to take us out of these difficult times is what Jesus meant when he told his disciples, “Let not your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1).
As believers, we can look to the return of Christ with great expectation and anticipation. But a sense of peace isn’t only a future promise. Jesus told his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (John 14:27).
He didn’t say, “My peace I will give to you.” He’s promising peace here and now.
When I’m filled with angst over something like whether or not bills will get paid, or how to respond to family relationships falling apart, or what to do when there doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day and some of the most important things slip between my fingers—it’s hard to think of Christ’s return as a present comfort.
Did Jesus really mean for us to look at our present troubles and long for his return so we could be removed from these situations? Is this the peace he gives us to withstand the troubles we endure every day?
Trouble seems to just be part of life. We are troubled by the big things and the little things, but Jesus tells us not to let our hearts be troubled. How do we find true peace in the midst of trouble?
We hope that you will make joining us at Church a part of your weekly plans. With a relevant message, engaging worship, and plenty of activities for the whole family, this Sunday will be a celebration @ Astoria First Assembly which you don’t want to miss!
Pastor Steve Myall will be leading worship! The Holy Spirit is always THE true Worship Leader.
Worship is about honoring and praising our Lord and Savior. It is a time when we gather together to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, and express our joy and gratitude. The power of God’s word touches those who are hurting and awakens hope for the hopeless. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary worship, we invite you to celebrate the good news in Jesus Christ with us!
Our Children's Ministries Director, Mrs. Lori Ann, and her staff will be offering an amazing Kid's Church experience for your children in our newly redecorated Kid's Ministry Room.
We invite you to bring your child to church every Sunday to interact with other kids and learn from the word of God!
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Please come and join us this Sunday! We invite you to come experience life with us!
We hope to see you in church this weekend!
Until then, Have a very Blessed Week!
