Prayer works, but it cannot and it will not if you don’t. - Pastor Sheerin

You cannot and will not be apostolic if you don’t repent. - Pastor Sheerin

[FIRST CHURCH @kennettupc]

Sometimes we focus so much on the miracle that we overlook the unity that precedes it. - Rev Sheila Durk

[FIRST CHURCH @kennettupc]

As life gets busy, or is busy, I think it's important that we remember, no matter what's going on, that we have a connection to the One that can refill our cup. - Rev Jason Littles

[FIRST CHURCH @kennettupc]

I'm not offended by people that doubt and mock. I want to help them understand, and warn them, "Be careful. Because if you stay around a little while, some of the people that doubted and mocked the most are the ones that we're like, 'Sit down.' 'I can't sit down.' -Pastor Sheerin

We are not Pentecostal because of the place, but we're Pentecostal because of the people who come to the place. - Pastor Sheerin

I'm thankful that it's whosoever will can receive of His Spirit. If you're hungry, you can be filled. If you're thirsty, you can be filled. And I'm thankful that we can have this precious Apostolic Pentecostal gift. - Rev Chris Johnson

By His stripes we are healed. And I'm thankful that He took upon Himself healing: not just physical healing, but spiritual healing, emotional healing, any healing that we need. He took upon Himself. - Rev Chris Johnson

The reason why we need to teach people about God, and teach or train up our kids to follow Jesus, because He's the only One Who can save. - Bro Josh Johnson
