I Went To Life Tabernacle This Morning

[chosenbyone]

I woke up wavering on going to church, because I wasn't feeling well, but Esther sent me a PM. I really wanted to meet her and her husband and so I got dressed and went to church.

The praise and worship started out VERY upbeat with the first song selection, but then the remaining songs were slower and ushered in such a sweet presence of the Lord. I am Apostolic and while I can appreciate the shouting, I much prefer the deep, slower worship that comes from the heart.

I kept looking for Nancy Kilgore because I thought she led the praise and worship, but then found out she was this morning's speaker. She did an excellent job speaking on anger and our need to forgive others and her delivery was anointed and affective.

I knelt at my seat and prayed after Sister Nancy spoke and a couple came up to me and prayed with me. I thought it was Esther and her husband, because the brother knew so much about my physical challenges and spiritual concerns (come to find out it wasn't Esther and her husband). It never ceases to amaze me how personal our Savior is and how he uses willing vessels as instruments of his love.

I got exactly what I needed this morning spiritually and physically I felt so much better. After praying awhile, I went outside to call Esther, since I didn't know what she looked like, but she and her husband had already left. I'm sure I was quite the site strolling around and smiling and saying hello to every short statured sister wearing blue thinking that they were Esther.

By the way, I did get to hear Sister Nancy sing during alter call, but I soon drowned her beautiful, angelic singing out with my weeping and praying. As they say, "It was ALL good"!

God bless and thank you folks for your prayers.

I love Life Tabernacle and this was OUR CHURCH when we lived in Houston.I apprieciated the prayer that went on and the awesome outreach.

[Felicity]

We were at a Foreign Missions conference at Life Tab by request. We drove all the way from Denver to Houston just for that conference.

I loved the church, I loved the people, I loved the spirit and atmosphere. I appreciated the quality and class that was represented in everything that was done there - the way the church was decorated, etc.

I'll never forget those services!

I only got to visit Life Tabernacle once and that was in the mid 1970's. I enjoyed the service. James Kilgore was a class act!!!! He had an excellent reputation in Houston as a good pastor and member of the community.

I miss Bishop James and Imogene Kilgore so much. I have so many fond memories of those years when I attended Life under their leadership.

I appreciate Jim and Nancy Kilgore's compassion and vision for Life Tabernacle. It was nice to see so many new converts in the service this morning.

They are preparing for more church growth with the construction of the new tabernacle. Click on the link below to see it under construction.

The church was amazing.There was alot of prayer and worship that went on.Brother Caulk was the assistant pastor when we attended.He was awesome.What a trial of faith he went through before going on to glory.

I may have seen you, not positive.

My husband doesn't go to church with me often and I can assure you IF he came and prayed for you it would be a miracle as well. :)

There was a man I haven't seen before sitting in front of my husband and I kept thinking maybe it was you.

Did you have your glasses on? If not, I think I did see you if you did, then it wasn't you that I saw.

I am glad you came and had a positive experience.

God is good!

I was sitting by the sound booth the second to last row of seats at the top. I had my glasses on for most of the time. I only took them off to watch the drama and when I wanted to read the scriptures on the big screens.

Even though I didn't get to meet you in person, I was glad that I went yesterday. I was thinking about going on Friday night to hear Sister Tenney speak. Are you going to that service Friday?

If so, maybe we'll have the opportunity to finally meet.

I'm trying to work it where we can. That is our night for home church.

If all agree to meet Sat then we will change it.

I love to hear Sis. Tenney.

I attended Life during the time that Bro. Caulk was the assistant pastor. He was a remarkable man with such a tender heart. The Kilgore family really had a hard time during Bro. Caulk's illness and death.

Jan Caulk was such a dear person and we use to spend a lot of time enjoying each other's fellowship. She gave me a lot of support with the AIDS Care Team and I still have all the books she gave me during that time.

I believe she lives in the Austin area with the gentleman she married a few years after Bro. Caulk's death.

Awesome! The Tennys just were in Pensacola yesterday.Brother T.F.preached
