We here at first Assembly believe in living an Intentional Life for God. An intentional life has purpose, discipline and vision. Our goal is to help the Master Builder build lives for all eternity. You see, even though we are all under construction here at. . .First Assembly of God in Greencastle, as we each use our gifts and talents God's spiritual House is being built up as living sacrifice unto Him. (I Peter 2:5) So whether you are just our guest for the day or plan to be a part of the great things that God is doing here at First Assembly for a lifetime: My sincere prayer is that you have an encounter with the presence of our Almighty God and that your life is opened up to Him!- Pastor Daniel Barnes
Read Philippians 3:17–21
A citizen of one country never feels at home in another. The food is different, the language is different, the sights and sounds are different, even the smell is different. Everything about that alien country is odd. There is a longing to go home; to be back in one’s own country.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians3:20).
The believer’s true country is heaven. Our time on this earth is as a stranger traveling in a foreign land. The example for how to live here is not those who call this world their home. Their priorities, goals, and standards for living are very different from the ones the Christian should hold dear.
Paul said not to follow the people of the world but to follow the example of Christ—the ruler and ambassador of our homeland, heaven. Our stay here is temporary. Our worldly possessions should be held with a loose grip. Keep heaven as the focus because Christ, its ruler, is coming soon.
Prayer Suggestion: Ask God to help you live each day with your real home in mind.
