CONGRATULATIONS TEARS!

Last week, Tears Zoway become a Citizen of the United States of America. Congratulations, Tears!

Citizenship of the United States is a status that entails specific rights, duties and benefits. Citi-zenship is understood as a "right to have rights" since it serves as a foundation of fundamental rights derived from and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, such as the right to freedom of expression, vote, due process, live and work in the United States, and to re-ceive federal assistance.

The implementation of citizenship requires attitudes includ-ing allegiance to the republic, participation, and an impulse

to promote communities.

Winning the

invisible war

New message

series begins

Sunday, July 21st

at 10:15 am

Whether we recognize it or not—there is an invisible spiritual war raging all around us. It is battle between God and His enemies, good and evil, angels and de-mons.

Even though this is a spiritual battle—every human being and our entire world is involved. Since we have chosen to be on God’s side that “puts a target on our back” spiritually. The goal of the other side is to defeat us with deception, doubt, discouragement, and ulti-mately destroy our faith.

The good news is, with God’s help, we can not only survive—but also win this war! But, we need to under-stand what it is all about as well as the strategies and weapons we need to fight with.

The Apostle Paul briefly outlined this war in Ephesians 6:10-12

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty

power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able

to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are

not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil

rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty

powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the

heavenly places.

In this series we not only want to explore ways you can

win the invisible spiritual war—but also answer some

questions you may have about the spirit world. Ques-

tions like:

Where did Satan come from?

How powerful is the Devil?

What are demons?

How do demons possess people?

Do we have Guardian Angels?

And More!

MESSAGES TITLES AND DATES:

1. Understanding the Battle (7/21)

2. Identifying the Enemy (7/28)

3. Defeating the Forces of Evil (8/4).

4. Wielding the Winning Weapons (8/11).
