The direct connection to God
Prayer is the simple act of having a conversation with God. It’s about talking with the Creator of the Universe: whether aloud or in our thoughts, during special or ordinary moments, when we’re on the move or before we go to bed. It’s the privilege we get as His children—a direct connection to God. No voicemail messages, no call waiting.
My Sin Separates Me from God
Sin has broken our connection with God. “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2). Everyone has broken God’s perfect law of love. “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Unless something happens, we are all doomed to die. “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23).
Filling of Holy Spirit
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: – Isaiah 44:3
As part of the worldwide church, the purpose of PGHSDA is to labor within the greater Providence region in order to produce disciples Christ would be proud to call his own, while also displaying the love of Jesus by being a pillar of light and goodwill within our community. In this day and age where many are in search of hope and purpose, the Lord has provided water for those who thirst through His Holy Scriptures. His humble servants are willing to provide a safe haven for anyone who is in search of peace.
