When the word "SUPER" is added to anything ... the substance or form is altered! The word "SUPER" can be defined as: above and beyond, or more than normal. The church family of The Pentecostals of Columbia have all agreed that it is our desire for POC to be a "SUPERNATURAL" church! The word "SUPERNATURAL" is defined as: a departing from what is considered usual or normal. We want to be more than just a "NATURAL" or a "NORMAL" church!
In the Columbia metro area, there are over 650 places of worship. My intention is not to be critical or throw stones at any other group, but many of these are nothing more than a religious gathering. They may even use a Christian vocabulary and they may talk about their favorite scriptures ... but are they experiencing what the first century church experienced in the book of Acts? In Jesus' day, there was a lot of religious people. He said, "You look good on the outside, but inwardly ... you are empty!" To make the transition from being a "NATURAL" church to a "SUPERNATURAL" church ... it can only be accomplished by the "SUPERNATURAL" power of God working in and through the people of that church!
In 2 Kings, chapter 4, we find the familiar story of a widow. She had nothing "EXCEPT" a little oil! But as the story unfolds, that was enough! In the New Testament, we find that they had nothing "EXCEPT" five loaves of bread and two fishes ... but that was enough! Why? Because of the "SUPERNATURAL" power of God! Regardless of how little we feel we have in the "NATURAL" realm ... it will be more than enough once the "SUPERNATURAL" power of God gets involved! And without the "SUPERNATURAL" power of God ... a church is nothing but a religious gathering!
Have you ever considered your own life and wondered ... "Does God have more for me that what I've experienced?" Maybe you feel your life is a mess! Well, I can assure you that your mess is not too messy once you submit to the "SUPERNATURAL" power of God! Your past experience with religion may be a good starting point but maybe God has more for you! At POC, we all feel that if God has more ... we don't want to be content and satisfied with less! Join us in our pursuit of being a "SUPERNATURAL" church!
