REFLECTING
ON THE THEME
The Year of Overwhelming Victory
by Dr. Monica Greene-Smalls
Following LFCC’s 10th Anniversary celebration in
October 2016, Pastor T. Anthony Thompson designated
the journey into the 11th year as “The Year of
Overwhelming Victory,” and this issue continues in that
theme. 1 John 5:4 states that that “for everyone born
of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has
overcome the world, even our faith.” In the Feature
Article, Pastor T. reminds us that Overwhelming Victory
is ours through Jesus Christ, when we rely on God’s
power and stay focused on God’s promises. Through
sharing her testimony in I Testify, Sister Audrey Thomas
encourages herself and the reader to find Victory in the
Storm. In Words of Inspiration, Sister Jackie Meadows
reminds us that there is Victory in the name of Jesus --
the name that gives us power and authority over evil.
The article on Sarcoidosis in the Health Corner, was
originally written in 2012 by dearly and recently
departed Sister Eva Holley. Sister Holley was a
beloved member of the LFCC family and we will miss
her greatly. As a dedicated member of the Newsletter
Ministry, Sister Holley enjoyed writing articles to
educate us about various health conditions, even as
she was battling her own. Although we are deeply
saddened to lose such a wonderful member of the
body, we know that Sister Holley has achieved the
ultimate Overwhelming Victory because the Lord said,
“well done good and faithful servant” and called her
home to heaven to be one of his most beautiful angels.
Deacon Jason Goods instructs us, in Dollars and Sense,
on how to engage in “Spring Cleaning” for our personal
finances so that we can have victory over debt and,
in turn, stay focused on God. In our Honoring the LFCC
Graduates, we celebrate five high school graduates
and impart Godly life lessons through the Parable of
the Pencil.
